Service-learning is defined as a community service activity that involves both an educational component and the opportunity to provide direct service to others.

New research (July 2006- National Youth Leadership Council) has determined that adults who engaged in service-learning during their teenaged years are more likely than their peers to be politically and socially connected to their communities. Service-learning has a strong impact on youth-adult transition and a long-term effect on civic engagement.
