Playing Our Part Through Service-Learning

In this article, the author discusses service through the lens of presidential support and programs designed to promote service by American citizens-- "elders, adults, teens, tweens, children." Service-learning in particular is now seen as a solution to many problems, economic and otherwise, that are facing the American educational system. The role of young people in service-learning is highlighted, as are a number of educators and service-learning leaders from across the United States.
