Abstract
The chapter uses a class field trip, working in a downtown soup kitchen, to explore what can be done to increase the educational value and service of such important experiences for students and teachers. By drawing on four theories of democracy - constitutional, procedural, deliberative and rhetorical - the chapter constructs a very practical twelve-step program for democratic inquiry, skill development and community service. This highly schematic approach toward exercising and practicing democratic rights, on behalf of oneself and others, is intended to demonstrate to students a broad range of practical, critical activities which can be undertaken to address the soup kitchens of democracy.
