Grant Description: PROJECT DESCRIPTION Proposed projects will allow youth an opportunity to explore the past, present and future of their neighborhoods while serving their communities. Applicants will be encouraged to develop service-learning programs that give youth an opportunity to canvass and map their own communities; research the histories of their neighborhoods; identify community assets and needs in order to develop service-learning projects; and find the people, organizations and systems that make their communities stronger such as city council members and various government offices. The activities of proposed projects must have a positive impact on the needs identified while enhancing the breadth and depth of service-learning in schools. Successful applicants will describe experience in service-learning and clearly explain how the service proposed will be tied to learning outcomes and will provide evidence of previous accomplishment in developing service, service-learning, or school-community partnerships to meet local needs. Successful applicants will detail how youth will prepare, act and reflect on the service they undertake. They will clearly outline how the program will be structured during the day and over the course of the program so time is allotted for learning and reflection. In order to ensure that students receive the greatest possible benefit from service-learning activities, service activities and curricula must be planned carefully. Students need opportunities to develop their leadership and civic skills. They also need structured time to reflect on their service in order to analyze it in its academic, historical and community context and internalize the lessons learned.
