Into the Streets serves as an excellent organizing and recruiting tool for service programs and student organizations. Into the Streets is an excellent program for any campus because it has been created by students for students and because it focuses on coalition building and the five critical elements of meaningful community service. Once again, the GSU Office of Community Service-Learning has joined with students, student organizations, alumni, faculty, staff, community agencies and organizations, and corporate sponsors to create a series of interesting service activities. There are many reasons why students may wish to get involved in service projects. For example, students who augment their classroom learning with hands-on experience can improve their chances for academic and future success.
Service can also provide a much-needed diversion from the pressures of college.
Whatever the motivation, Into the Streets provides an opportunity for students and other members of the GSU community to explore possible areas where they can have an impact on others while at the same time making a difference in their own lives.
