Overview

Civic Service

Filled with illustrative examples of effective service-learning lessons from across a variety of disciplines, Civic Service shows faculty and administrators of institutions of higher education what it takes to collaborate effectively with government partners such as city councils, school districts, and public agencies. Written to be flexible, the examples can also be applied to service-learning courses working with businesses and nonprofit organizations. This important resource can give faculty and administrators the inspiration and guidance they need to take the lead in creating their own service-learning programs.

"Service-learning with state and local government partners can have a crucial impact on our country's future. If we are to successfully navigate the unscripted future we all face, we must raise the bar in confronting the multiple challenges in our society. Just as the problems facing us are real, so are the opportunities for vision, for renewal, and fortapping into fresh, creative approaches to addressing these problems."
—From the foreword by Kay W. Barnes, Distinguished Professor of Public Leadership, Park University, and former mayor, Kansas City, Missouri

"This is an important book. At a time when we have come to a fresh appreciation of the critical importance of government in fostering and sustaining the common good, Redlawsk and Rice provide us with case studies that illustrate how service-learning can contribute to this work. Their book not only contains a variety of different disciplinary and partnering models, it also includes the voices of key stakeholders—including government officials—not always heard in service-learning circles. This volume should be in the library of every service-learning program. It helps us reconceptualize how service-learning can and should contribute to civic renewal."
—John Saltmarsh, professor of higher education administration and director, New England Resource Center for Higher Education, University of Massachusetts, Boston, and Edward Zlotkowski, professor of English, Bentley University
