Service Learning

Learning through real practice with others and then reflection with oneself is at the heart of ABC's approach.  It is not always easy to practice and writing reflections at the end can sometimes feel tedious. Yet we wholeheartedly embrace this high-impact pedagogy because:

•  research demonstrates powerful learning for the practitioner,

• practice with real people and products provides people with financial capability (ability to act), not just financial literacy (knowledge -- which may or may not ever turn into action), and

• practice with others through service learning provides our communities with much needed services from trusted individuals and connects people to trustworthy products and organizations.
