Abstract: 

The authors discuss the impacts of "community problem-solving service learning" on student civic responsibility. They use the West Philadelphia Improvement Corps (WEPIC), a year-round program involving 4,500 children, their parents, and community members in education and cultural programs, recreation, job training, community improvement, and service activities, as an example.
