LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE LEARNING: A NATURAL LINK

This issue of Service-Learning Network focuses on youth leadership. Empowering students and getting them more involved with helping others are two basic themes of youth leadership training. They also anchor service learning. Hence the natural link between the two.

In this issue, Ellen Petruzzi, the magnet coordinator of Westside Leadership Magnet, a school in Los Angeles Unified School District, tells how leadership programs can benefit all students. The technology page lists various web sites and listservs devoted to leadership. We also have reviews of leadership books and profiles of leadership programs. Summaries of the programs awarded 1997–98 Robinson Mini-Grants are included. Plus we have other information of interest to educators and others working with youth.
