Description
For the past three years, the Departments of Curriculum and Instruction and Instructional Leadership have formed a partnership with four community boards in the City of Monroe: Children’s Coalition, United Way, YMCA, and Wellspring. Each semester, both elementary and secondary students in senior methods courses have the opportunity to apply for sitting on these boards as a ‘guest board member.’ When selected, the students are required to attend two or three board meetings and present a proposal for a community service-learning project that is to be presented to both the classes on campus and the community board.
