The Educational Integrity of Community Service and the Need for Federal Support

Eberly, Donald J.

New Directions for Higher Education, n18 p53-63 1977

If full-time service experience is important to the maturation of young people, then federal support for service learning is imperative, because most young people require financial support to underwrite their service. Experiences with the Peace Corps, ACTION, VISTA, and especially University Year for ACTION (UYA) are described. (Editor/LBH)
