College business students, as part of a requisite undergraduate business management course, were assigned a service learning project. A component of the service-learning project was to teach business and management related curriculum to at-risk high school students. The undergraduate students, consisting of gender and ethnic mixes were then assessed in their perceptions of the following service learning position: leadership to at-risk students, relationships to at-risk students, making a difference to at-risk students, teamwork effectiveness, service learning effectiveness, and role modeling to at-risk students. A repeated measures ANOVA and factorial ANOVA were used to assess effects. Significant differences were noted.
