Service-Learning in Out-of-School Time: Capitalizing on the Perfect Opportunity. 2011.

The Rand Corporation reports that average summer learning loss in math and reading for American students’ amounts to one month per year. More troubling still is the fact that these statistics disproportionately affect low-income students who lose two months of reading skills on average while their higher-income peers make slight gains. But change makers should not fear. Service-learning offers a fun, easy and effective way to engage youth in positive activities. Shammara Wright, Volunteer Maine, From the Field.
