How can the principles of service-learning be applied in urban environments? What are the issues and opportunities that educators and students face in urban areas?

This two-day session focuses on applying the principles of service-learning in inner-city environments. Join us as we bring together community voices to discuss service-learning outreach and application techniques that help students achieve excellence in urban settings. The schedule has been designed to allow for small-group interactions and large-group gatherings.

Registration includes all sessions, training materials, four meals, shuttle service between the Hilton and the Institute, and a reception. Sessions take place at the Kresge Learning Resource Center on the Meharry campus.
