Question 2) Is the Service Learning process the most effective way to engender good citizenship skills in all students?

A key element in well designed Service Learning projects is the understanding that project activities will provide a service to or civic advocacy for a community group, be it within the school, the neighborhood, or the Amazon Rain Forest.  Whether students are working with architects on the re-design of their school, with the water authority to help monitor the local waterway, doing intergenerational projects with seniors, or petitioning the local governing council for more greenspace, one of Service Learning's primary objectives is to engender the development of good citizenship skills. 
A key component of Service Learning is the involvement of Community Partners.  By interacting with Partnering Professionals on Service Learning projects, students experience successful, real-world modeling of what constitutes good citizenship in action.
Ultimately then, along with academic mastery the most important aspect of the Service component in Project Based Service Learning is the effect that service has on the students providing it.
