Journal of Business Ethics · 1996 · Volume 15 · Issue 1
Abstract
This article offers an introduction to service learning and a brief review of the research on the effects of service learning on academic and values development. It outlines in detail the history of Campus Compact, an organization of 517 college and university presidents founded in 1985, and its Project on Integrating Service with Academic Study. Lessons learned about institutionalizing service learning and information about resources for doing so are also summarized. The findings are based on a three-year, national project supported by the Ford Foundation and an anonymous donor, and two service-learning case studies.
