The Corporation for National and Community Service supports a variety of resources designed to support service-learning programs and to help colleges and universities spur volunteering among their students. These include:
- Learn and Serve America is a national service program, administered by the Corporation, that supports and encourages service-learning throughout the United States, and enables over one million students to make meaningful contributions to their community while building their academic and civic skills. By engaging our nation’s young people in service-learning, Learn and Serve America instills an ethic of lifelong community service. Learn and Serve America provides direct and indirect support to K-12 schools, community groups and higher education institutions to facilitate service-learning projects.
- The National Service-Learning Clearinghouse provides resources and best practices to support service-learning programs. It includes information on why service-learning is a valued part of higher education, faculty award programs, and institutions that acknowledge service-learning on the transcript or as a graduation requirement.
