Community Service Learning Open House
Resolve to make your life and others' better this new year by engaging in community service learning! The staff of Community Service Learning invites the campus community to an Open House on January 23, 10 AM to 2 PM, at their office in the Deering Farmhouse, 23 Brighton Avenue, Portland . Meet the staff and community partners and learn about the life-changing opportunities that are available through community service learning! Our 2011-2014 program emphasis on supporting college access for disadvantaged K-12 students focuses activities on mentoring --offering individual relationships of friendship and support with students at King Middle School or Portland High School-- and tutoring --after school homework help with elementary, middle, and high school students in school and community based programs five days a week. As little as an hour a week can change two lives -- that of a K-12 student, and yours!
Parkside is Community Partner of the Year
Rachel Horton White, Director of Parkside Neighborhood Center, was honored as USM's Community Partner of the Year at the Student Involvement Awards Gala on May 3rd. With a long history of partnership, including its inception through a grant written by USM faculty member Dr. Kim Moody, Parkside provides service learning and internship opportunities for USM students from nursing, social work, education, and more. Parkside's Night Light after school program is staffed in large part by USM students, and the King-Parkside After School Collaborative (KPAC) was begun as a project by USM graduate student Sherry Whittemore. Rachel Horton White works actively with faculty and students to support their service and learning at Parkside. The USM office of Community Service Learning is pleased to thank and honor Rachel Horton White and the Parkside Neighborhood Center as our Community Partner of the Year!
