Hot Topic: At-Risk Youth

Hot Topics highlight recommended resource items, both online and in the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse library, on important service-learning related subjects. At-risk youth are children/youth who are more likely to drop out of school due to a variety of demographic, socioeconomic, and institutional characteristics. Service-learning helps to connect such students to the school and community, and addresses issues like boredom and disaffection, which are common reason for students dropping out of school.
