Students who participate in community outreach programs develop a positive awareness for civic duty and observe applications of their learning. Teachers and students discover the most vivid benefits of service learning when they participate themselves. Students are energized and the school builds a stronger link with the community. In this article, chemistry students partner with a local children's science museum for service learning and outreach in order to successfully complete their chemistry course. Approximately 75 juniors and seniors contribute time to serving the museum. A variety of activities exist at the museum. For instance, students can help with the museum's after-school tutoring program and help elementary school students with their homework. Students also have the chance to explore the museum exhibits together and participate in specially planned activities. The project is a powerful connection between what students learn and how they can share it with others. The most effective way to learn a concept is to teach it to someone else. When the volunteer students present and lead their activities, they truly grasp the connections and relationships of the concepts. In addition, they learn how it is possible to donate time and contribute to their community.
