Research Shows that Service-Learning Reduces Dropouts

New research from teacher focus groups and a nationally representative survey of high-school students show tht service-learning can address most of the educational factors that lead students to drop out of high school. The report, Engaged for Success, published by Civic Enterprises and recently released at the National Service-Learning Conference, demonstrates that service-learning can keep students engaged in school while helping them become model citizens. For a free copy of the report and a companion PowerPoint presentation, go to Civic Enterprises.
