Service learning at Taylor Business Institute is defined as a teaching method that enriches learning by empowering students through meaningful service that benefits the common good, expressing when and as possible the concerns of the communities from which Taylor Business Institute students come. It is an activity that is integrated into and influences the life-long learning of Taylor Business Institute’s students. All service learning activities have a reflection component and an articulated learning outcome.
The Local Community: Taylor Business Institute has a working collaboration with the local community via a variety of relationships. Taylor Business Institute sincerely believes that it is a part of the fabric of Chicago and must engage in ways that extend beyond its presence as a niche college. Faculty and staff are encouraged to be full participants in the life of their community.
