Why Consider Student Leadership and Service Learning?

• Research shows that well-designed service-learning programs boost student achievement, test scores, engagement, higher order thinking skills and personal and social skills.
• Service learning helps students translate what they're learning in school to real life.
• Students involved in leadership development activities and service-learning projects develop stronger ties to the community and a sense of civic responsibility.
• Tomorrow's leaders are today's students.
