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:

  • 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.
  • Work with the Filene Center for Advising and Career Services to support experiential learning classes that send students into the community to work with local agencies on programs that make our community a better place to live and learn.
  • Create service opportunities that bring together students, staff, faculty, and the community.

 

What are some current projects that I can get involved with?
