Study of Outcomes of Participation in the Bonner Scholars Program

Community and National Service

This CSD Civic Service Research Fellows study, led by CSD research fellow Cheryl Keen (2005-2008), explores the impact of participation in a service-learning program at the college level on participants’ civic engagement following graduation. Researchers surveyed alumni of the Bonner Scholars Program, a four-year co-curricular service-learning program, and compared their responses to those of two comparison groups drawn from UCLA’s Life After College Survey. Findings suggest that participation in the Bonner Scholar program correlates with a higher level of civic engagement, particularly in civic activities that require dialogue.
