Because of its capacity to enhance student learning outcomes and development, service-learning is becoming an integral part of the educational mission of many schools. Because of its proven positive impact on both students and communities, service-learning is embraced by teachers, students, parents and community stakeholders as a valuable way to engage learners with meaningful service experiences. From K-12 settings to college and university campuses nationwide, service-learning programs have been successfully integrated into the curriculum of a wide variety of institutions.
