5/12/2010 (7:15 AM EST): Growing Hearts & Minds through Service Learning

As a homeschooling parent, you want to teach your kids to cultivate big dreams and aspirations for the future—but you can’t get that kind of education from a textbook! In this webinar, homeschooling mother and veteran volunteer Billie Jo Youmans shares how your homeschool program can benefit from a “service learning” approach. By incorporating intentional volunteer activities, you can give your children hands-on learning experiences that will not only cultivate Christ-like character, but also expand their future educational opportunities. Billie Jo walks you through both spiritual and academic considerations and shows you how to practically implement this approach. Help your students achieve predetermined learning objectives, acquire core skills, and enhance their educational portfolio through service learning!
