The National Commission on Service Learning

The National Commission on Service Learning was a U.S. organization established to promote and improve service learning—an educational approach that combines classroom instruction with community service. Its goal was to develop policies and resources that help students apply academic skills to real-world issues, fostering civic responsibility and personal growth. The commission worked to integrate service learning into schools nationwide, encouraging partnerships between educators, students, and community organizations, ultimately aiming to build stronger communities through meaningful, engaged learning experiences.
