Nagasaki Wesleyan University has launched a community service program which provides innovative educational opportunities for students to enhance learning through real experiences beyond the classroom setting. The program seems go well at some point since the beginning because of receiving generous support by the community agencies. Unexpectedly large numbers of students have applied and are engaging in various community activities. We continue perceive this community service program as a stepping stone toward true service learning, where there is an emphasis on learning while engaged in community service by students. While the Japanese national government encourages volunteer work to educational institutions, a movement toward service learning in Japan is about to flourish following the United States where it has existed for several years. Just recognizing the properties of service learning in Japan is a baby-step that is required to learn how to walk. Our mission is to clarify the theory of the service learning, and to study it in the U.S. by visiting the Kap'iolani Community College in Hawaii whose program is well known and is in the national spotlight. It is our hope that these reports and proposals help Nagasaki Wesleyan University move to ward the developing of its own service learning program as well as help Japan to develop service learning.
