In this study, energy saving and carbon-reduction are the focuses for discussion. In the way of service learning, senior high school students were arranged to promote a campaign for the Energy-Saving and Carbon-Reduction in National Industrial and Technology Museum. Entitled as "Energy-Saving and Carbon-Reduction (ESCR) Lifestyle and Service Learning Activities", the Green Energy DIY and Action Drama Performance sections were selected as the case study to determine the effectiveness of service learning and the perceptions of high school students on this program. The qualitative research approach was applied, and 15 students from 2 high schools were interviewed to investigate their motivations for participation and their engagement in the process of service learning. The results showed that most students participated in ESCR service learning because of their affiliation motivation. In addition, student engagement in ESCR service learning was analyzed in 3 stages: preparation, action, and reflection. During the reflection stage, the students demonstrated improvements in ESCR knowledge and problem-solving skills, there by influencing their choices for future lifestyles and career planning. The findings of this study reflected the true phenomenon of service learning participation, including students ' participating motivations in the beginning, uncertainty about the program, but then deeper dedicated involvement. These results may serve as a valuable reference for designing future related programs.
