The national Learn & Serve Challenge is a national call to action to schools, college campuses, and youth-serving organizations to commit to engaging a significant number of young people in service-learning activities that address the tough problems facing the country during the 2009-2010 school year. Across the country, programs will spotlight the value of service-learning to young people, schools, and communities; and encourage others to launch their own service-learning activities.
The Michigan Community Service Commission is looking for 100 percent grantee participation in the state for the 2009 Learn & Serve Challenge. Below you will find a variety of resources that can help with your service and promotional efforts. Also feel free to visit

In the past, the Learn & Serve Challenge focused on one week of publicity and outreach. Now, it is becoming a sustained, collaborative, and focused effort to promote opportunities for elementary, middle, and high school age youth to be engaged learnings and active contributors to society year-round.
