ABSTRACT
The following checklist has been distilled from experience in the United States and the UK.
Does your service learning programme:
1. strengthen service and academic learning through integrating the work within the mainstream taught and whole curriculum? (Service learning cannot usually be delivered as a bolt-on to existing activities.)
2. feature in your development plan and publicity? 3. provide concrete opportunities for young people to increase their knowledge,
learn new skills, think critically and test new roles in an environment that encourages risk taking and rewards competence?
