Junior and senior students completed a 60 hour service learning experience working with preschool age children at a site of their choice each week throughout a whole semester. The goal was to engage very young children in a variety of developmentally appropriate creative movement activities. Students made contact, arranged site visits with the school personnel, designed and implemented their own lessons and service work. Preschool children from an urban Head Start program, a program serving the young children born to students in a high school, a special private school for young children with cerebral palsy, a university daycare and several county preschool programs were served as a result of this Learn and Serve America grant through the Shriver Center at UMBC.

Teacher Education and Communication Sciences and Disorders: Serving Preschoolers Through Physical Activity
Towson University - MD, Maryland
I know of no other educational organization that has a track record like Campus Compact's. It is a phenomenal success, not just in terms of growth in numbers, but in terms of the impact it's had on communities, on campuses, and on individual lives.
