The concept of service-learning combines academic studies with real-world community issues. It aims to help students develop themselves through reflection and critical thinking while also making a positive impact on the community. Integrating service-learning into foreign language and culture education can fulfill the need for practical language and culture learning that educators have been seeking. This method provides authentic experiences and facilitates learning by connecting local communities with diverse language and cultural backgrounds with the educational objectives set by school staff, faculty, and community partners. The research focused on addressing the decline in language enrollment in post-secondary education, which has dropped to a historic low of 16.6% (MLA, 2023). This dissertation was conducted at Notre Dame of Maryland University and analyzed existing comprehensive data from the Office of Service and Community Engagement. The data included reflective journal entries and in-depth 60-minute interviews, which contributed to a new research purpose, a new design, and expanded knowledge in the field of foreign language education. It utilized a qualitative phenomenological approach and a formative program evaluation of the community-based service-learning program known as "Youth Success Coach Volunteer (Virtual)." The primary goal was to discover innovative strategies to prevent the potential loss of language and culture learning in educational institutions. The research evaluated the impact of the community-based service-learning program on six undergraduate students and measured the learning outcomes related to foreign language, cultural understanding, and civic engagement. The research findings showed that the community-based service-learning program had a significant impact on students' self-development, language, and culture learning through community engagement. It also revealed a significant increase in students' motivation to learn languages and cultures, participate in service-learning programs, and engage in experiential education. Additionally, the findings identified three areas of the evaluated program that need improvement to meet the learning outcomes of foreign language education fully. Further research suggestions were made for service-learning education practice, highlighting its promise for language and culture education.
