This presentation focuses on how families and service-learning providers together can support and nurture emerging service leaders. Participants receive simple, practical strategies and materials to create a partnership between their service-learning program and the families of their students.
What are the best ways to educate parents about the benefits of service learning as well as family volunteering?
How your service-learning program can encourage families to serve others, including both support for your existing projects and extension efforts at home?
What are some successful strategies to build strong alliances between school, family, and community in a way that enriches service learning, increases academic achievement, and creates a culture of service?
Our goal is to see every child grow up knowing that part of what we do—as citizens, as human beings—is to help one another out. At every workshop, we’ll let you know how we’re working toward that vision and how you can help.
