Service Learning: From Classroom To Community To Career

by Marie Watkins, Linda Braun

Service learning has become a powerful way to engage today's teens in education; it builds their skills and character as they meet real needs in their communities. The Corporation for National and Community Service says the federal grant program Learn and Serve America has more than 750,000 youth participants nationwide. This unique book will help students enrich their service learning experience. It informs students of the purpose of service learning, prepares them to make effective contributions, inspires them to give their best, and encourages them to use reflections on their experiences for personal growth.
