Service Learning Curriculum
-
Service learning offers learners a chance to do something significant for other people in their community while enhancing their educational experience and personal growth. Learners may earn up to one credit toward graduation by serving as a volunteer in the school or through a nonprofit agency. West Fargo High School and Sheyenne High School offers three options for service-learning.

Service-Learning / Community
Learners must be registered for 5.5 credits before registering for service-learning. Learners are required to complete a weekly reflection journal and additional journal assignments, which must be signed by their supervisor. This is a pass/fail course, and a final grade of “A” or “F” will be reflected on the transcript.
Community (out-of-school, outside regular school hours): An out-of-school service-learning experience is an opportunity for Learners to serve the community through a nonprofit organization. It can be project-based or a series of projects throughout the semester providing service to others. An out-of-school service experience requires a minimum of 60 service hours outside of the school day for the duration of the semester.
