Community and National Service Democracy and Civic Engagement Report

The Forms and Nature of Civic Service: A Global Assessment

By CSD • July 1, 2003September 14, 2021

This report presents findings from a global assessment of civic service programs. What is the geographic distribution of programs? What forms do these programs take? What are their goals and activities? Who serves? How long do they serve? What structures support the service experience? This assessment is only a first step in our research on this topic, but these findings may be a first glimpse of the prevalence and nature of service around the world.
