This handbook is to assist agencies and schools in developing coalitions for Youth Engaged in Service, to build better citizens and healthier communities. Seven examples of the community building process are presented to demonstrate what others have tried. Highlighted communities include: (1) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; (2) New York, New York; (3) Columbia, South Carolina; (4) Leucadia, California; (5) Zuni, New Mexico; (6) Evansville, Indiana; and (7) Everett, Washington. A set of action principles helps in putting together resources to expand the classroom education into the community. (EH)
