This article presents findings of a multisite case study of the experience of nine federal Healthy Start Program sites in using consortia and other community involvement strategies in the fight against infant mortality. Using empowerment theory as a conceptual framework, qualitative data are employed to examine howcommunity involvement in the program through community-based consortia and other means contributed to empowerment at the organizational level. The article concludes with implications of the study findings for practice both within Healthy Start and in the context of other community-based health initiatives.

Service learning (SL) is a form of experiential learning in which students are involved in community service activities that are related to academic course objectives. A key aspect that separates SL from other forms of experiential learning is the mutually beneficial nature of the service activities. Much of the SL and international SL (ISL) literature has focused on positive learning outcomes for students, with much less focus on the benefits of SL to the community. Speech, Language, and Hearing Services (SLHS) in Zambia is an intensive SL short-term study abroad program. This paper describes the benefits to the community via the SLHS in Zambia program.
