Journey to Service-Learning: Experiences from Independent Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities

Draws on the work of thirty colleges and universities that collaborated in the Learning and Service Alliance and another 145 institutions that joined them at the National Institute on Learning and Service in June, 1995. Their stories can guide developing service-learning initiatives and help existing programs find new ways to partner with communities. Faculty, students, community members and community organizations reflect on the experiences and insights of people involved in the process and highlights its two-way nature -- as students help those in need, they also learn many valuable lessons. Includes service-learning timeline.
