This paper presents an experience of a service learning program in underprivileged
Microenterprises.An aspect that turns out to be original as compared to other
contributions in literature is the explicit assessment of the impact of the program
on the enterprises, since most of the related studies focus on evaluating the
students experience and impact on learning derived from participation.The paper
suggests that service learning programs with the participation of college students
can play an important role both in supporting disadvantaged microenterprises and
in providing meaningful learning experiences to students.
