Transformational Service and Action Learning in order to build mutual assets. Unless an organization can demonstrate how it works in concert with other agencies to remedy community needs, it will never be able to sustain itself because foundations, corporate giving programs, and government monies all require collaboration. Therefore, the use of the FRO continues to foster the service learning of students, but it also upholds a legacy of civic engagement and continues the promotion of social change for students, organizations, and their communities. Conclusions As mentioned in the introduction, concern about the administration of financial systems governing public service organizations is growing. Coinciding with this concern is a realization that the administrators of such systems “cannot simply observe the world, but instead continually interact with and influence it” (King & Zanetti, 2005, pp. x–xi). Consequently, this article is relevant to the professional development, teaching, and scholarship of practitioners and academics who (a) seek to combine the knowledge of expertise with the wisdom of common sense and/or (b) focus on the fiscal challenges of public service in the 21st century. Underlying the FRO is the pivotal role of communication in promoting the teaching of social responsibility and civic engagement. Vigoda (2003) suggests that the main challenge in the coming years is “a new vitalized administrative generation that is interdisciplinary in nature and tightly bounded together with modern participatory democracy” (p. 18). The translation of the goals and aspirations of public service organizations into economic realities serves as an untapped reservoir in promoting an educational framework that signals the financial collaboration between government, private industry, and nonprofits to speak on behalf of programs and missions that might otherwise be lost.

Kimoto is an Associate Professor in Grand Valley State University’s School of Public, Nonprofit, and Health Administration. Dr. Kimoto earned her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California with emphases in interpersonal and organizational communications. Her research and publishing interests combine communication and pedagogic theory towards identifying the underlying approaches that guide the co-operative experience between teachers and students in promoting excellence in learning. She is currently working on a textbook, Communicating Public Service, which uses experiential learning to prepare students for intelligent participation in public dialogues that consider the issues of humane living and responsible action in local, national, and global communities. 38 Journal of Public Affairs Education
