Health and Wellness
Service-learning programs and projects can be geared toward meeting health and wellness needs of diverse communities, solving problems such as obesity, disease transmission and treatment, and substance abuse. Certain aspects of health and wellness-related service-learning may be discipline specific, intended for students and community members in the fields of medicine, nursing, public health, and physical therapy, but many examples are interdisciplinary and can be tied to many fields of study.
