Service-Learning in Emerging Adulthood: Positive Development and Outcomes
Rasmussen, Katie E.; Nelson, Larry; Padilla-Walker, Laura M.;
Abstract
The current study qualitatively examined positive development and outcomes during emerging adulthood specifically in the context of service-learning experience in the Romania International Internship program. We hypothesized that compared with emerging adults who do not participate in service-learning experiences, those who do participate develop more positive outcomes including (1) more positive self-perceptions, (2) greater identity development, and (3) achievement of criteria deemed necessary for adulthood.
