Community service and social justice at Research Universities

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discover whether various community service settings or different types of community service are differentially associated with students’ engagement in social justice. Utilizing data from the Multi-institutional Study of Leadership survey, the authors discovered that all forms of community service (i.e., in a course, as part of a work-study experience, as part of a community organization, in a campus organization, or on their own) are positively associated with students’ engagement in social justice.
