This team incorporates an exciting service learning component. Volunteers will participate in a small book club, reading a short memoir called "Dogs Without Collars" during the team kickoff on September 16th. The book will relate thematically to the issues of Hunger and Homelessness. Our goal is to enhance your volunteer experience through the process of group discussion and reflection. On Tuesday October 14th, the team will reconnect, and over a hearty pot-luck, enjoy a guided discussion of the memoir and have a chance to relate the reading to their volunteer experience. 


Please be mindful when committing to this team that these organizations depend on a specific volunteer group size in order to provide their services. Attendance at all projects is extremely important.
