  5. Creating your service-learning action plan The service-learning action plan is a tool that NYLC has created to help you move through the pre-service portion of the service-learning cycle. As you move through each step be sure to think about the 8 service-learning standards we learned yesterday and see if they apply.

  8. Completing pages 2 -4 Now that we have the basics down its time to tackle some of the details of your service learning action plan. As you complete pages 2 – 4 use the guiding questions posted around the room to help you compose your answers. **Remember, anyone should be able to pick up your action plan and know exactly what it is you plan to accomplish!
