Learn and Serve America School-Based
PK-16 Service Learning Initiative
As of 2010, RI Campus Compact has been designated as the lead agency for Learn and Serve America School-Based Formula funding. School-Based programs engage K-12 students in service-learning programs that allow young people to apply academic content knowledge to meet critical community needs. Learn and Serve America School-Based Funds:
  1. Support high-quality service-learning projects that engage student in meeting community needs with demonstrable results, while enhancing students' academic and civic learning; and
  2. Support efforts to build institutional capacity, including the trainings of educators, and to strengthen the service infrastructure to expand service opportunities.

The main goals for the Rhode Island PK-16 Partnerships for Success Service-Learning Project are:
  • Increase the practice and quality of service-learning as a methodology for implementing Rhode Island Common Core Standards and meeting the Rhode Island Department of Education's (RIDE) Strategic Plan: All Rhode Island Students are Ready for Success in College, Careers and Life.
  • Create, train and sustain a strong statewide network of educators that are experts in and advocates for service-learning.
  • Identify major barriers to student achievement and aspirations to attend post-secondary education and, through service-learning and other civic engagement activities, implement solutions to those barriers.
  • Provide more opportunities for low-income, disadvantaged and/or potential first generation college students to engage in service-learning.
  • Increase local and statewide PK-16 partnerships that support the sustainability of service-learning beyond funding.
