The president of SLAB has especially put forth a great amount of leadership in organizing with the Youth Center director. Also SLAB is planning to take the children of the Center on an environmental day with a service-learning project involved in the field trip. After coordinating the details with the Youth Center, SLAB members sign-up to volunteer on days they are available to help. Also we are all now aware of the events at the center throughout the week which helps with planning to sign-up to volunteer, best times, materials and the number of students needed to help. There are currently about ten students involved with the Youth Center Projects.
Help is needed whenever students are available.
Some go two or three times a week, while others go once a month. Several SLAB members are very committed to our project and really enjoy being at the Center. Throughout the project, we have learned dedication, responsibility, and leadership. We have also learned to work with people of any age and capability. As with all service-learning projects SLAB organizes, we aim to help others and in turn help ourselves grow as leaders and individuals.
