ABSTRACT
This chapter examines how service-learning affect students values. It identifies what impact it has on values and summarises what students say on the topic. Students indicate that their confidence and concern or care for others improves. They also indicate that their understanding of others and their sense of responsibility increases. Many found they became more confident after their service-learning experience. Some in fact indicate that they found their service project place a greater level of responsibility on their shoulders than anything else they did in college. They seemed to grow from their contact with whatever group they worked with on their project whether it was homeless people, sick children, drug addicts, and so on. Finally, some went further than this and began to care for those they met. Here some realised that they might have been too focused on their own concerns and not realised that there are many out there who are an awful lot worse off.
