4. How can service-learning reinforce a sense of belonging among students??

The Cave and Service-Learning: Developing a Sense of Belonging in Summer Bridge
Henrietta Williams Pichon

Pichon focused on findings of a case study that explored the use of Plato’s “Allegory of the 5 Cave” to supplement a service-learning project. The project was initiated in an academic orientation course as a part of a summer bridge program in order to foster a sense of belonging.  Findings suggest that helping students transition into their new environment by using their strengths to help others through a service-learning project helped to reinforce their sense of belonging. Read the article.
