Service-Learning: A Dropout Prevention Strategy and MORE!
presented by Cathryn Berger Kaye

How does service-learning bring together best teaching strategies to create authentic education, provide meaning and purpose, and motivate youth to be involved?

And why do these elements keep our youth in school and move them from surviving to thriving?

Generate success and build transferable skills that lead to inner confidence all youth need to succeed and to thrive! Keep in mind that service-learning is academic, rigorous, and filled with genuine opportunities for students to apply their ideas, interests, skills, and talents toward the common good—a win-win for all involved. Join this webcast for good stories, practical ideas, and resources you can use!
