The hot topic in character education is service learning. From the editors of Cultivating Heart and Character comes one of the most important resources to include in your character education program. Service learning is the key for many young people to building a life of good character outside of the school. Students who engage in service learning have two growth opportunities: the satisfaction of making a contribution as well as the enjoyment of experiential learning. Now there's a comprehensive guide to conceptualizing, planning and implementing an effective and meaningful service-learning program. See also Dr. David Wangaard's book above.

"For many young people, service to others is the key to escape from the shackles of self-preoccupation and moving them on to the road to character development. This brief book provides educators with a complete and compelling guide to the 'whats' and the 'hows' of the dynamic service learning movement."
