| Service Learning / (A’oa’oga e Ala
i le Tautua) |
| The American Samoa Community College Service Learning
Program is affiliated with the University of Hawaii and Maricopa County
Community College, Arizona Campus Compact. |
| Service Learning is pedagogy where students
share their knowledge from the classroom with people in the community.
Through this service, students not only reinforce their own learning,
but also witness the true value of sharing with others. |
| American Samoa Community College started this Service
Learning Program in the Summer of 2001, when students from the English
Language Institute Department piloted a reading program for the Tongan
Community. In addition, the Social Science Department started their
“E.T.U.A.L.E. Project” for the Nazareth Home at Fatu-o-Aiga.
Other college departments have also extended Service Learning activities
to other parts of the community. |
