LEAPS (Learning through Experience, Action, Partnership, and Service) is a student-run organization comprised of trained facilitators who work with faculty to design and facilitate reflection sessions for service-learning courses. LEAPS facilitators receive training that explores both the theory and practice of service-learning and facilitation strategies and techniques. In addition to the contribution that LEAPS makes to students in service-learning classes, LEAPS also provides facilitators with the opportunity for developing their own leadership skills in a unique way, working closely with professors, and building upon their own ideas of leadership, service, and learning.

 

Founded in 1996, LEAPS was instrumental in developing the Service-Learning Program at Duke. For more information, visit the LEAPS website.
