The Generator, Summer 2009

Duration and Intensity

This issue of The Generator focuses on "duration and intensity," one of the eight service-learning standards for quality practice. While there is no magic number of hours that results in optimal service-learning, longer and more in-depth experiences tend to result in greater gains for all involved. Learn about the research that supports this standard, read about a powerful middle school environmental program, and learn how to move your program from direct service to advocacy.
