Building Character Through Service Learning offers an in-depth look at the integral role service learning plays in the development of character. Educators, community leaders, and parents will find insight and practical information to connect service learning with civic, family or character education. Best practices, helpful theory and 'how to' methods provide a rich discussion of the importance of service learning in education and community settings.

“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 'what's' and the 'how's' of the dynamic service learning movement.”

- Dr. Kevin Ryan, Director Emeritus
The Boston University Center for the Advancement of Ethics and Character
