An
Introduction to Service-Learning: For anyone
working with students or youth groups -- in the
classroom or after school -- this training will
teach you the essentials of integrating community
service with academic learning (and California state
standards) in three easy steps. In this training, we
will explore the 7 elements of successful
high-quality service-learning, demonstrate how to
integrate service-learning into your curriculum, and
provide a number of resources to support
service-learning in your classroom.
Character Education Workshop: Learn the nuts
and bolts of character education, gain
project ideas for in-school and afterschool, and
learn how to effectively use service-learning as
a tool to teach character education. The
Character Education Workshop is appropriate for all
educators (teachers, afterschool staff,
administrators, principals and parents) as well as
community organizations that currently are, or are
interested in, engaging youth to the organization’s
mission.
The Comprehensive Service-Learning Training: Get more bang for your buck!
We now offer an day-long service-learning discover
course. While the course is open to all educators,

This hands-on training

introduction to service-learning, as well as
character education, on-site projects, student
motivation and reflection.
Tailored Trainings: Interested in a
specific service-learning theme or an ongoing,
