Service-learning is a type of experiential education that combines and pursues both academic achievement and community service in a seamless weave, requiring the use of effective reflection exercises. The goal of service-learning, through linking academics to the community, is to develop the skills, sensitivities, and commitments necessary for effective citizenship in a democracy.

The Citizenship and Service-Learning office serves Missouri State's Springfield campus and the Springfield-Greene County community by supporting the common goals of both community partners and Missouri State faculty, staff and students. To our community partners, we facilitate a stable, long-term reciprocal relationship for the good of our community. To Missouri State faculty, we support faculty scholarship, including both teaching and research interests. To students, we facilitate the introduction and integration that takes place between traditional classroom work and community service.
