This guide was designed to help teachers and others working with youth to develop and implement a high-impact, strategic plan of action to engage young people in serving and learning in their communities. The guide provides a student engagement framework through which you can teach required academic standards and curricular goals. As students commit to solving some of the most important and challenging issues facing our world, they are immersed in semester-long service-learning projects that include research, planning, action, relationship-building, leadership development, reflection, and opportunities to share what they have done and learned.
