Matt and I had the chance to meet many involved in the Service-Learning community at the 19th annual National Service-Learning Conference. All parties involved with service-learning — students, teachers, and administrators — as well as external champions were there, sharing ideas and successes from the past year.
Many of those in the National Service Learning community were involved as well, including the Peace Corps Director Ronald Tschetter and John Bridgeland, currently the President and CEO of Civic Enterprises and formerly the first director of the USA Freedom Corps under President Bush. Bridgeland presented a report on “The Promise of Service-Learning in combating the high school dropout epidemic. Read his report here.
Check out some of the youth projects presented at the conference. Inspiring stuff!
