The present paper describes a teaching experience that implements service learning in translation studies at an undergraduate level. In this regard, students in the third year of the BA in Modern Languages and Translation at the University of Alcalá have collaborated with the NGO Manos Unidas in the English translation of educational material on children’s rights and sustainable development. In addition to studying and presenting the potential benefits of this particular proposal, this paper also seeks to foreground the suitability of translation as a field in which service learning projects can be developed. In order to explore the aforementioned points, two surveys (one addressed at students and the other at the members of the NGO) were conducted. Results confirm the positive impact of this methodology and encourage further planning and implementation of similar initiatives in upcoming years.
