Abstract
Responding to media attention on a study of Teach for America (TFA) alumni, this essay summarizes key findings of alumni studies of TFA and AmeriCorps regarding evidence of sustained civic behavior in relationship to young adults’ search for meaning and purpose. Consideration is given to different definitions of civic engagement and what is “enough” civic engagement. It closes with questions regarding the role of reflection and spiritual development in discerning vocational calling and sustaining civic engagement.
