Counselor Educators are called to prepare counseling students as social justice advocates. How to effectively do this is unclear, but service learning could offer a potential strategy. Service learning is a pedagogical strategy that combines conceptual learning in the classroom with meaningful service that aims to meet a community felt need (Kezar & Rhoads, 2001; Kronick, 2007). This presentation will report the findings of a qualitative study focused on counseling students’ experiences in project-based service learning embedded in Counseling Across the Lifespan.
