This book will help stakeholders in higher education appreciate service-learning as an innovative and active approach with the potential to enrich students' learning experiences, while adding value to the service mission of higher education.

The book will serve to bring university teaching out of the clouds and restore in students' minds the connection between what they are learning and the people their education is meant to help. The approach advocated here will serve to have a long-term and salutary effect on the whole nature of university learning. When students are given the opportunity to participate actively in the learning process, which includes civic engagement, they will be able to learn not only theoretically, but also experientially through practice, as experience is generally one of the best ways to learn.
