Service learning projects can help afterschool students with learning, social responsibility, and character development. This article provides an overview of planning considerations for service learning in afterschool. The article also provides guidance for afterschool teachers and administrators in seeking service learning resources.

How might a service-learning course help child language brokers (Tse, 1996) minimize negative effects and maximize the cognitive and academic benefits of language brokering? This question is answered with data from an ethnographic case study of a high school service-learning course in translation and interpreting. Heritage speakers of Spanish and less commonly taught languages serve as volunteer interpreters at local schools while learning the skills, habits and ethics of professional interpreting in this course. The theoretical lens of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977; 2006) is used to analyze how this curriculum affects students. This article also contributes to evolving definitions of service-learning for heritage language speakers, arguing that language brokering that students do for their families and communities should be seen as a pre-existing "service" that can be utilized in the prepare-act-reflect cycle of service-learning. Analysis of the data shows that this cycle is key to supporting students in building the confidence and skills to pursue careers in professional interpreting and helping them manage their family interpreting experiences. Students demonstrated increased self-efficacy perceptions in terms of interpreting, academic achievement and general life events, although the role that service-learning played in the latter two outcomes is still unclear.
Das Buch stellt deutsche und US-amerikanische Erfahrungen mit Community-based Research (CBR) dar und bietet Leitfäden, Tipps und Hinweise zur Durchführung an. Beispiele durchgeführter Projekte u.a. in der Medieninformatik, im Medizinmanagement und der Lehrerbildung ergänzen die Grundlagen, schaffen ein plastisches Bild und bieten Anregungen zur Entwicklung eigener Maßnahmen an den Schnittstellen von Universität und Gemeinwesen. Für Hochschulen, die gesellschaftliches Engagement auch forschungsbezogen umsetzen wollen, ist CBR eine ideale Ergänzung zu Service Learning, indem es universitäres Engagement und forschungsorientierte Lehre zusammenführt. Der Inhalt CBR an Hochschulen umsetzen Nutzen aus Sicht der Zivilgesellschaft Neun Portraits durchgeführter CBR-Projekte Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Pädagogik und der Sozialwissenschaften Praktiker in der Hochschulentwicklung und -didaktik, in Stiftungen sowie gemeinnützigen Einrichtungen, Lehrer und in der Lehrerbildung Tätige sowie Führungs- und Leitungskräfte in Hochschulen als auch Non-Profit-Organisationen Die Herausgeber Karsten Altenschmidt (M.A.) ist Leiter des Programms "Engagement durch Lehre und Forschung für die Region" sowie Koordinator für Service Learning an der Universität Duisburg-Essen.
