Higher Education Service-Learning Sourcebook (Hardcover)

Service-learning in higher education symbiotically combines community service and academic study--that both fields strengthen in the union is one reason for the movement's increasing popularity. This comprehensive guide to service-learning in colleges and universities includes:

• A-Z encyclopedia of terms and concepts
• Directory of service-learning programs and services at 325 colleges and universities
• Resource guide to essential information culled from books, journals, Web sites, and Internet discussion groups
• Directory of service-learning organizations, conferences, institutes, and training opportunities
• Inventory of awards, scholarships, fellowships, internships, and grants in the field

This multi-faceted new resource is a gold mine for college administrators, faculty, students, and volunteer coordinators involved in higher education service-learning.
