ARTSOUTH hosts the Service Learning Program for several local high schools. This highly successful program brings at risk high school students to ArtSouth to learn painting, ceramics, clay, fashion design or Photoshop from ArtSouth artists. The students then go out into the community to teach what they have learned to adults center and special needs children.

Service Learning is a teaching/learning method that connects meaningful community service experience with learning. The meaningful service will meet a real community need and the learning objectives and activities will be directly linked to specific Sunshine State Standards.

The combination of experiential learning and personal satisfaction that students gain from helping others makes Service Learning an effective teaching and learning tool.
