Abstract	This guidebook is designed to provide teachers, schools, parents, and other community leaders with the needed ideas, strategies, and resources to combine service learning and character education in meaningful educational activities for children and young people.

The following topics are covered: (1) the essential elements of character education; (2) the connection between service learning and character education; (3) the key to effective character education; (4) youth leadership in character education programs; (5) the essential elements that promote character development; (6) impacts that should be expected from character education programs; and (7) the importance of character education.
