Hot Topic: Civic Engagement

Hot Topics highlight recommended resource items, both online and in the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse library, on important service-learning related subjects. Civic engagement involves participation and contribution to civic and public life through voting, staying politically informed, and engaging in community service. Civic engagement is important to service-learning because when service-learning programs address specific knowledge and skills, civic development is made explicit to students as a core learning outcome.
