Abstract
Community service and Community Service Learning, or CSL, are researched
and analyzed closely in a qualitative study. This qualitative study took place at an
International Baccalaureate Organization school in Spain. It involved seven tenth grade
students and it followed their emotional, behavioral, and cognitive progress throughout
three months of working as a mentor in a reading program with third graders.
Conclusions are made about each student and overall the qualitative study showed
promising results in terms of self-esteem, well-being, and connection to a larger
community for community service and CSL in the classroom. More research, especially
in international schools, must take place to get a fuller understanding of community
service and CSL.
