The purpose of the Learn and Serve America K-12 program is to promote service learning as an educational strategy which enables students to learn through service. Service learning promotes both academic as well as service goals. It is a method by which students learn and develop through active participation in organized experiences that meet community needs. The experiences are coordinated in a collaborative effort between the school and the larger community. The focus of this funding cycle is to link history, civics, and service. School activities should assist students in meeting social studies standards in history and civics and provide opportunities for students to engage in community service.
