The Digital Society, characterized by a fast-changing technological development, the production of new knowledge, the availability and access to information, and the communication, interaction and collaboration through the Internet, requires rethinking the university education of young people, orienting it towards the development of attitudes and competencies which are necessary for citizen education adapted to the needs of this new society. This paper presents the results of a documental analysis of the competencies, skills, values and attitudes that characterize citizens of the new millennium. It also describes how the educational approach of service-learning plays a preponderant role in the training of this kind of citizen, promoting those competencies that are relevant and necessary to provide opportunities to connect the curriculum with the community and develop civic participation skills and attitudes. A reference model for the understanding of virtual spaces for service-learning (EVApS) is also presented in this paper. It was developed using a system approach that conceives this type of technology as open and intentional systems, which are composed of a set of heterogeneous components. These components are interrelated in order to provide its users with a required functionality and support to the teaching and learning processes oriented to service learning. This model helps to understand and design EVApS in an integral and systematic way. It also identifies a set of digital technologies that can be used to support the development of competencies specific to service learning with a view to training the citizens of the new millennium.
