About This Webinar

This engaging session is designed to support educators in leveraging service-learning principles as a powerful tool for student wellbeing, social-emotional learning, and community connection. Educators will explore the core principles of service-learning and examine how acts of service build social awareness, foster belonging, and help students connect emotions to action. Participants will leave with actionable tools, step by step guides to project planning and classroom ready lesson plans focused on community wellbeing and service through the Realize the Dream Initiative in partnership with the King Family. 

This webinar is part of Share My Lesson's 2026 Virtual Conference. Join the community or register for all sessions.
