Other Lessons | Making Civics Real: Civic Engagement

The approach to service learning in social studies explained in this article is based on the work of the Close Up Foundation and the Constitutional Rights Foundation in Los Angeles in developing Active Citizenship Today (ACT). ACT is a unique social studies service learning program because it includes the analysis of public policy as a crucial step in the service learning process.
