Students often participate in service learning because it looks good on college applications or is a natural outcome of their church or club activities. If they stumble into careers of service later, it is usually an afterthought, not part of a planned path. Considering the social, environmental, and economic equity issues that today's students will be responsible for handling, it is time now to move beyond the volunteer possibilities of the service field and get specific about the career possibilities. The opportunities to explore such ideas, however, are threatened by some high school reform policies that are crowding out anything not related to the core academic subjects.
