The Nurturing Potential of Service Learning.
Krystal, Sandra
Educational Leadership, v56 n4 p58-61 Dec-Jan 1998-1999
To nurture the spirit, young people have to participate in activities that help them make meaningful connections. They must be guided in real-life situations to develop a moral code and sense of civic pride. Service learning is a spiritual, esteem-enhancing affair that often blurs lines between giver and receiver. Compassion is learned by hands-on experience. (MLH)
