"Although the number of service-learning publications directed at faculty has increased dramatically over the last few years, publications aimed at students have been relatively rare. Learning through Serving represents an important, highly useful student-oriented resource. Not only does it cover a range of topics, from key definitions and distinctions, to team-building, intercultural sensitivity, and typical mistakes, but it also provides practical exercises for all the topics it discusses."—
Edward A. Zlotkowski, Fellow at the National Campus Compact, and Professor of English at Bentley College “Finally, a companion reader for students in service-learning courses! It is filled with meaningful exercises to help students make sense of their service experiences and relate it to the course content. This is an important contribution to the field of service learning and faculty should utilize this book to help students understand and make the most of their service-learning
experiences.”— Elaine K. Ikeda, Executive Director, California Campus Compact

"The authors of this book work at Portland State University, which has a reputation for serious commitment to a learning paradigm, a thoughtful general education curriculum, and a concern for student mindfulness and active citizenship. On the evidence of Learning Through Serving, it is well-deserved."--Effective Teaching
