Topics highlight recommended resource items, both online and in the
National Service-Learning Clearinghouse library, on important
service-learning related subjects. Out-of-school time describes the
hours when youth are not in school (after-school, during school breaks
like summer vacation, etc.). This is the time when children are most
likely to be unsupervised. The odds are high that children or youth
with nothing positive to do and nowhere to go will find things to do
that may negatively influence their development and futures.
Out-of-school time service-learning projects can provide opportunities
for children to be engaged in supervised learning activities during
these non-school hours.
