Outcomes from Catholic Service-Learning

Service-learning attempts to reconnect communities, schools, and students in the name of democracy and the benefit of the disenfranchised. Catholic schools have added another component, framing service as the exercise of one's faith in benefit to marginalized groups. This paper draws on interviews conducted with seniors at an urban parochial high school. Outcomes from their service experiences are examined vis-a-vis the goals of their high school's Christian service program.
