Service Learning. And Thrive
Service Learning
Service learning is an integral part of the RB community and curriculum, and provides authentic learning experiences that help our students grow into adaptable, socially responsible global citizens. Projects at RB support both the local community and people around the globe. RB collaborates with B1G1 to do better good around the world.
B1G1 is a giving initiative that allows businesses and individuals to give easily to high-impact projects run by carefully vetted charity organisations (Worthy Causes) we partner with. We aspire to create a world full of giving by making giving easy and meaningful.
We believe that everyone has a responsibility to contribute positively to society and the environment through the understanding of sustainable development goals SDG, and our students take great pride in their service work – learning along the way that they can have a positive impact in our world.
