Service-Learning Professional Learning Community

Through service-learning, students learn and apply knowledge, skills, and experience as they address genuine community needs. 

This group of Western Massachusetts service-learning advocates and practitioners will meet bi-monthly to share ideas and resources, and to advance community service-learning locally and regionally. 

Facilitated by Hampshire Educational Collaborative’s Rich Cairn.  Rich Cairn is a national leader in the service-learning movement.  As Publications and Policy Director for the National Youth Leadership Council from 1987-1993, he helped launch a national movement.  From 1993-2006, he and his wife, Susan Cairn worked with hundreds of schools and organizations as Cairn & Associates.  Currently, Rich serves on the Massachusetts Board of Education Advisory Committee on Community Service-Learning.  http://www.doe.mass.edu/csl/
