A New Hull House? The Monumental Challenge of Service-Learning and Community Engagement

This book tells rich and moving stories about students who venture into the communities around their campuses, in places like Providence, Rhode Island; Bland County, Virginia; and Santa Cruz, California, to work with faculty and community partners on common issues. As they start off, they may hear their professors say (or tell themselves): “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”1
