View the page.  Service-Learning = Solutions BlogNSLC’s new Service-Learning = Solutions blog is a new space to discuss the role of service and service-learning in helping our communities through the economic crisis. One contributor muses: "Through this crisis, we are learning how we are all connected and how we must fulfill our responsibilities to promote and protect the common good. Viewing the world through the lens of service will surely facilitate the moral and economic recovery." Share how you believe service and service-learning can play a role. Another contributor notes that there are increasing opportunities for students to engage in meaningful service specifically because of the downturn where "some of our most challenged schools are losing every one of the teacher aides, not to mention the P.E., art, and drama teachers, or the guidance counselors, or the after school program staff that are no longer taking their positions for granted. Our residential adolescent programs and youth shelters are increasingly understaffed. The list goes on."? Share your thoughts about how service-learning can serve such communities in need without being a threat to an already shrinking workforce. Join the conversation.
