Sommario/riassunto

This is a highly practical book for anyone who is interested in establishing or maintaining a service learning program at the high school level. It comes at an opportune moment, following the recent passage of the National and Community Service Act of 1993. The book explains the origins, purpose, goals, and principles of service learning; discusses program design options and factors that need to be considered when establishing a program; offers guidance on starting



and operating a program; and discusses how to handle common obstacles and challenges.
