SAN MARCOS — The Service Learning Fair will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 5 at the San Marcos Campus Student Union.

It provides a forum for Palomar students to meet with prospective employers about potential opportunities in the service field.

Organizations attending include the Boys and Girls Club of Vista, Feeding San Diego, Alzheimer’s San Diego, Vista Community Clinic, and others.

Service learning is a way for students to learn skills and develop personally while also providing assistance to their communities. It allows students to learn by doing rather than the traditional lecture format.

The two major components of service learning are the students’ participation in a community service activity connected to course materials and active reflection on the meaning of that service, according to the Service learning section of the Palomar website.

This is an event for those who are looking to add some experience to their résumé, develop some skills, or those who simply want to give back to the community.
