Possible Service Projects for your Statesman Time
A friend and former colleague of mine (she is a retired high school math teacher) is very actively in volunteering with local non-profit organizations. She has passed along some service opportunities to me that could be great for your Statesman Time or other student groups students to do. Engaging students in service learning is a meaningful way to opportunities for students to demonstrate our core values of respect, positive relationships, and teamwork. Please read the opportunities below and let me know if your Statesman Time would like to participate.
