| Abstract | With goals in mind of engaging children in education and preparing them to address the nation's challenges, this report suggests service-learning could be a potential way to not only stem the tide of dropouts, but create a new generation of youth who are academically prepared for success in college and who possess a strong sense of civic responsibility. Despite the promise and growth of service-learning over the last two decades, there remains a gap between the number of students who want service-learning opportunities and the number who have access to them, and this gap is largest for minority students. Highlighting findings from a nationally representative survey of 807 high school students, including 151 at-risk students, who share their views of service-learning, the report presents original and secondary research that shows the ability of service-learning to address some of the principle causes of dropping out. The report also examines the results of focus groups of service-learning teachers who provide specific examples of the ways in which service-learning has affected their students, as well as interviews with current students who offer their perspectives on service-learning programs. The report draws upon research from a comprehensive national literature review, which found that service-learning improves almost every aspect of education that has an effect on graduation rates.
