It is the connection to learning standards that distinguishes service learning from community service.

Students’ service directly affects and involves recipients (e.g., tutoring). • Indirect service. Service is not directly provided to individuals, but to a community or environment, as a whole (e.g., collecting clothes for families that live in shelters).
