The document discusses how service-learning can help address the high school dropout rate. It notes that nearly 1/3 of students in California do not graduate and dropouts face poorer economic outcomes.

The document provides examples of how service-learning has improved outcomes related to civic skills, engagement, grades, attendance, and graduation rates.
