Teaching a service‑learning course can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re building everything from scratch. This kit takes the stress out of planning by giving you ready‑to‑use templates, emails, and assignments that guide both you and your students through the entire service‑learning process.

I’ve taught an introductory Human Development & Family Studies course since 2012, and this bundle includes the exact materials I use to help students connect academic learning with real‑world experience. Whether you teach in‑person or online, these editable files make it easy to launch a meaningful, organized service‑learning component in your class.
