The key components of effective service and volunteer
programs
Service-Learning
An effective service-learning project provides a meaningful
experience for students, volunteers or national service participants;
includes opportunities for reflection on service; fosters positive
attitudes about citizenship and lifelong service; and improves the
participant’s ability to plan service projects that meet real community
needs. Service-learning projects require careful planning and
collaboration to ensure that all partners work together successfully to
meet their goals.
