Service-Learning Impacting Citizenship: A "SLIC" Way to Raise the Civic Aptitude and Behavior of High School Students?

This study examines the participant outcomes from Service-Learning Impacting Citizenship (SLIC), a community- and curriculum-based service-learning program aimed primarily at high school students. Analysis of data collected immediately pre- and post-program, and in a follow-up survey one year later, suggests desirable intermediate- and long-term participant outcomes, which effectively address program goals to increase the civic knowledge, skills, and behavior of participating students.
