Community Service Learning Project for Middle and High School Students

 

Are you searching for a meaningful way for your students to give back to your community? Engage your students in identifying and solving community needs with our collection of service learning templates. These step-by-step printables will help students develop effective solutions that address real-world issues.

This project is designed for middle and high school students and can be easily integrated into social studies, civics, or leadership courses. It is a great way to teach students about the importance of community engagement. Here are a few of our favorite parts of the project:

💛Community Impact Plan Proposal Poster

Help your students generate a project to meet a community need with this impact plan proposal template. Using this poster template, students will write...

• summary of a need in the community
• description of a proposed solution
• timeline of steps in the plan
• list of materials and personnel needed

💛Issue and Solutions Brainstorming Template

This printable template guides students through the process of discussing community issues with classmates, narrowing down an issue that they feel passionate about, and brainstorming six potential solutions to the issue.

💛Community Needs Survey

Help your students make a difference in the local community. This community needs survey template guides students through the process of conducting five professional interviews with local citizens, documenting their responses, analyzing data, and summarizing key needs in the community.

💛Guided Journal Prompts for Writing Before a Service Learning Project

Before your students start a service learning project, encourage them to mentally prepare for the experience with these guided journal prompts.

💛Community Service Reflection Template

Help your students reflect on their service learning experience with this post-project reflection template. It includes thought-provoking questions to help students analyze the mindsets they had before the project, as well as things they learned throughout the process. Students can also reflect on what they might do differently in future service learning projects.
