The Generator School Network is a community of schools committed to best practices in service-learning — and to the vision that high-quality service-learning should be a part of the school experience for every student.

Membership in the GSN helps educators assess and strengthen their service-learning practice, access curricular tools from NYLC, share their experiences and projects, and improve student and community outcomes. Through an easy-to-use online community, the GSN connects K-12 teachers and administrators, giving them voice outside their classrooms and schools while providing them with the materials they need.

Participating schools receive:

• Evidence-based assessment tools.
• Professional development opportunities.
• NYLC’s curricular process and resources.
• Access to GSN Advisors and service-learning leaders.
