Abstract:
This book integrates the ideas of service-learning, positive youth development, and model communities into a book with a comprehensive message about making communities more democratic. Specifically, the book argues that through service-learning an educator can teach higher-order thinking, such as information literacy, problem-solving, and critical and creative thinking. The authors use current and classical research, books, and websites to employ examples of how different communities currently engage their young people. (publisher)
