“I could have listened to her all day.” 08 Forum participant
“Cathy Kaye is one of the most wise and dynamic resources on service learning. Her knowledge of strategies, resources, people, and ideas in service on almost any topic is encyclopedic. Unlike an encyclopedia, though, she is engaging and inspiring. Her workshops engage everyone in important questions about how and why to do service learning.” Dave Donahue, Mills College

Cathy’s synthesis approach has met with accolades in its use in a variety of settings and grade levels. “At the core is the process to help students to ‘change,’ and this includes aiding students to develop desired characteristics and grow as learners."
