When integrated into a schools curriculum. community service can enhance student performance in the entire range of studies. A youngster who tutors others in algebra hones his own math skills. A child who plants trees in a public park learns about biology. And a child who helps a recent immigrant learn English will gain a greater understanding of the rules of grammar. Community service can benefit all types of studentsfrom those who are bored with traditional course work to those particularly gifted students who need greater challenges to remain interested in school. I know from my own community service work that much of the pioneering work in servicelearning is being done at the State level.
