Abstract
David Meens critiques federally funded service learning programs on the grounds that if these are designed to be a form of citizenship education, then they present far too narrow a version of citizenship — one that is all service and not at all political. Meens argues that the political origins of these programs help explain why the view of citizenship is defined so narrowly. I am not going to address that issue here. Instead, I sort out some of the concepts in the argument and then address Meens’ critique of the model of citizenship promoted through service learning programs directed at college-bound and college-attending young adults.
