Civic Service Research Fellows Program
Community and National Service
We created the Civic Service Research Fellows Program to support innovative research on civic service in countries all over the world. The program has provided funding and training to a multinational network of scholars and researchers representing more than 17 countries.
Their research and scholarship contributes to a growing knowledge base on civic service worldwide, including research on service-learning, national and international service. In some countries, such as Mongolia, this is the first known published research on civic service. The work of the Research Fellows is featured in the 2007 book “Civic Service Worldwide.”
