What are Serve & Learn Projects?
Serve & Learn Projects are one-time opportunities for individuals who are interested in volunteer experiences while also better understanding the issue areas.  These projects incorporate an education component which enables the volunteer to learn about issues related to the service project.  They further leave volunteers with action steps to confront community issues in the future.

  • Hearing from a staff person from the organization
  • Having a special talk from a guest speaker
  • Engaging in a facilitated group discussion
  • Participating in a service learning activity

This was a great experience!  Our coordinator was very   well-prepared, offered generous instruction...and led a very reflective discussion afterwards. It was certainly time      well-spent."
