Environmental Service-Learning Programs in Florida High Schools and Colleges: Nature, Status, and Effects as Determined by a Statewide Program Census

Abstract

The authors describe environmental service-learning (SL) programs in Florida high schools and colleges through a statewide program census that explored (a) academic, service, and reflection program features; (b) effects of Furco's SL outcome domains on student outcomes; and (c) program partnerships. The results of the study reveal that secondary schools and colleges in Florida practice environmental SL in a variety of ways. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for environmental SL and offer recommendations for further research and educational practice.
