Service Learning as Leadership : Our power for good
Phillip Craig
Let your words and actions reflect your heart as you develop a deeper awareness toward local and world needs. Each day we will embark on a service learning endeavor in the Portland community. There you will find opportunities both to share of yourself and to learn from others. On-campus time will be used to consider examples and models of leadership through service, and how service leadership can extend well into our global community. Have a fabulous time with other class participants, and help make a real difference.
