This is an important book for social work. As a profession, we have long endorsed the concept of service learning but this book provides background, theoretical perspectives, assessment strategies and examples that allow both beginning and experienced educators to develop excellent service learning opportunities for students. Its focus on social justice and empowerment, and its connection with EPAS standards make it a valuable contribution to the social work literature.
