Sustainability in service-learning is defined as the ability to maintain or increase program efforts by building constituencies; creating strong, enduring partnerships; generating and leveraging resources; and identifying and securing funding sources that are available over time. Institutionalization addresses the extent to which service-learning is integrated into the culture and goals of a school, community organization, or institute of higher education.
