Re: S-L and rural community dev

The Learn and Serve America National Service-Learning Clearinghouse has put
together a resource list on the topic of rural service-learning that can be
found at http://umn.edu/~serve/res/faqs/rural.htm.  We also have a database 
of
program descriptions you can search by visiting http://umn.edu/~serve 
(choose
"Databases" from our main menu, then select "Programs.")  373 K-12 programs
appear when you search for programs in a rural setting, and 3 higher ed 
programs
appear when you perform that search.

I hope this information is helpful!
