More than fifty students assist each year. Other collaborative efforts include voter registration, developing youth community service programs in the Spokane school district, hotline to the Washington state legislature, working with Coalition Against Malicious Harassment, and shared AmeriCorps staff, to mention a few. Effective evaluation assists by showing the college community the effectiveness of the program. Recognition of outstanding efforts must be made. The programs need to be institutionalized to be effective on a long-term basis.
Enthusiasm spreads and makes a difference.
