National Networks

There are numerous national networks available to service learning educators, campus-community partnership practitioners, and community-engaged scholars.

National networks related to service and learning provide many opportunities for presenting research, networking with peers, and acquiring new skills for inquiry and pedagogy.

• Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA)
• Campus Compact National Office
• Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE)
• Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH)
• Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life
• International Association for Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLC)
• National Service Learning Clearinghouse (NSLC)

The increasing focus on civic engagement and subsequent growth of service learning courses on college campuses require the dissemination of high-quality research to deepen and to enhance the practices of those participating in these campus-community partnerships.

Dissemination of high-quality research and scholarship on service and learning is crucial to sustain and to further develop the field. To this end, there are numerous opportunities for publication to share methods of inquiry, instructional design, and other related topics.
