Proven, Practical Ways to Engage Students in Civic Responsibility, Academic Curriculum, & Social Action. By Cathryn Berger Kaye, M.A.

A treasury of activities, ideas, and resources, The Complete Guide to Service Learning can help teachers and youth workers engage young hearts and minds in reaching out and giving back to their community, especially to animals. You will find strategies to build a strong service learning foundation as well as practical ways to implement service learning with children of all ages and backgrounds.

The guide is comprised of two main parts. Part one addresses various elements of service learning including how to get started, different ways to use the themed chapters, and a list of more than 20 reproducible documents and forms to help plan and carry out a project. Part two is made up of 11 thematic chapters including “Animals in Danger”, “Community Safety”, and “Social Change: Issues and Actions”. Each chapter includes activities, examples of service projects, and an extensive bookshelf of other resources.
