Service Learning in Pennsylvania

Hello,

For the last year, I have been serving as an Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA, 
by increasing the service-learning opportunities in four counties in Iowa.  
With the end of my service approaching, I am moving to Philadelphia, PA  at the 
end of August.  I am very interested in service-learning, eventually hoping to 
pursue graduate work in the area.

As part of my service as a VISTA, I have met occasionally with an group called 
the Iowa Service Learning Partners that consists of faculty from various 
colleges, college presidents, individuals etc working for the advancement of 
service-learning.  With my move to Pennsylvania, I would like to keep my 
involvement in the service-learning orientated community.  Does anyone know of 
any groups focusing on service-learning that are located in Philadelphia or in 
Pennsylvania in general that I should be aware of or get in contact with?  Does 
anyone else have any helpful information regarding service-learning in 
Pennsylvania?

Thanks!
Carrie Westra
