Service
Community service--in Norton, New Orleans or Ghana--provides a concrete and transformative learning experience that prepares us all to be better scholars, citizens, and leaders. SSSR encourages students, faculty and staff to move beyond a charity-based model of service to one of full and sustainable partnerships in which all participants benefit in significant ways.
But how does SSSR do this?
SSSR staff members:
- Coordinate Season of Service, an opportunity for all first-year students to get out into their new neighborhood, meet new people, and make a difference in the lives of our nearest neighbors.
- Support student-initiated clubs and service projects, such as the Community Service Council, the HERO Program, Norton Tutoring Outreach Program, the Pinoy Computer Clinic Project, and Norton Youth Theatre.
- Create service opportunities that bring together students, staff, faculty, and the community.
What are some current projects that I can get involved with?
