N2 - Community, national, and international service policies and programs exist worldwide. Anecdotally, their prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years. Their proliferation indicates a tacit presumption of their positive nature. While acknowledging the benefits of these programs, we call attention to the possible limitations of service, including elitism, state interests, and imperialism. We emphasize implications for policy, practice, and research.
