Almost all streams of service in South Carolina are involved in helping the state implement service-learning.

Using public forums, such as meetings and conferences, to put principles of inclusion into practice, provides a paradigm for the larger world of service. At the 2006 Florida AmeriCorps and National Service Conference (December 2006), reasonable accommodations, accessible format material, and valuing and affirmative statements, were some of the implemented best practices. This material was shared by Elesheva Soloff, Training Specialist, with the National Service Inclusion Project, in January 2007.
