The Service Project portion of the curriculum is a way for students to learn by doing. By attempting to solve the problems of violence that students themselves outlined in November, they are gaining an understanding of the world around them. By implementing a student-driven solution to a real world problem, students are making a difference.
Each school participating in the Youth Summit will plan, conduct, and reflect on a service project. Below is a link to service project suggestions for this year's summit, but the best projects come from the students themselves.
At the second Student Advisory Committee Meeting on February 8, SAC members came up with an idea to create a service booklet which would be handed out at the Youth Summit. This booklet would have a description of each school's service project and would be put together by three or four students with the help of CRFC.
Who wants to help out with this project? Write to obrien@crfc.org or call (312) 663-9057 x 203 to volunteer for this opportunity.
