Growing to Greatness (G2G) is the first comprehensive national study of the state of service-learning in kindergarten through 12th grade.

This third year report follows the 2004 report (focus on impact on schools) and the 2005 report (focus on impact on students) with a consideration of the impact of service-learning on youths' transitioning to adulthood and the impact of service-learning on the broader community.
