Summary:

Service-learning experiences have the potential to foster transformational leadership learning, if they are implemented with intentionality and attention to ethical engagement with the community. This volume of New Directions for Student Leadership couples theoretical grounding with a wealth of applied examples. This exploration of service-learning scholarship, leadership scholarship, and the scholarship of teaching and learning demonstrates the important intersections and shared values across this literature. These intersections make leadership development through service-learning such a compelling approach. This volume provides an overview of the most up-to-date thinking on leadership development through service-learning, including: the leadership competencies linked to service-learning experiences, the processes of ethical engagement in community partnerships, approaches for fostering more critical student reflection, and applied examples, including an in-depth case study of a leadership course series, a wealth of service programs led by students, a mentoring model linking college student service with youth leadership development, and a youth leadership program with a national scope. This volume will be of particular interest to leadership educators, curricular or co-curricular, who find the concept of learning through community service appealing and want to learn more about the important elements of program design in order to achieve both leadership learning and community impact goals.
