Abstract
A synergetic approach to combine service learning at the university level with a high school outreach program is described. A holistic view is presented by discussing the importance of outreach and service learning, survey results, and outcomes. Overall, it was found that the unique program increased the self-efficacy (belief about one’s abilities) of students ranging from high school to graduate level, and positively impacted the social responsibility attitudes of university student participants.
