Abstract:

Shea describes Boston's City Year program, an initiative to provide Boston area young people with opportunities for community service work. Shea also describes the Cambridge Service Corps, which high school students take for a class before graduating. The two are presented as alternate ways for schools to integrate service within the school setting. (SH)
