Growing to Greatness 2008
Abstract: 

Growing to Greatness (G2G) is the first comprehensive national study of the state of service-learning in kindergarten through 12th grade. It documents the unfolding story of service-learning, providing information to improve implementation, inform public policy, and give a clear picture of the many ways young people contribute to society. This fourth year report follows the 2004 report (focus on impact on schools), the 2005 report (focus on impact on students), and the 2006 report(impact of service-learning on youths' transitioning to adulthood and the impact of service-learning on the broader community). In 2007, we presented the Principles of Effective Practice. This year, we celebrate the collective work of many communities around the country in refining those original principles, translating them into the new K-12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice, and observing how the whole service-learning movement is evolving and maturing.
