Service Learning Opportunities

Below are some service events and information that our Service Learning Coordinator, Sue Anne Lewis, asked us to pass on to you all.

1. Service Learning at Science & Math – The title of the Service Learning Facebook page where students can find all SL opportunities (official signups will still be at Bryan Desk, but they can click attend to put it on their Facebook calendar to not forget about it), share pictures of volunteering, and give me input on what types of opportunities they have interest in.  Also, at the end of next year, I’ll have people post about their Service Learning so that the incoming juniors and those who need to still do theirs, can have examples.  Hope to highlight each county in NC.

2. Share Our Shoes - http://www.shareourshoes.org/ - a nonprofit that helps provide shoes to those who can afford them.  All shoes (adult/youth) will be accepted for our Back-to-School drive, but we’re targeting school aged children.  Students can bring back new or gently used shoes to donate – siblings, parents, etc.  There will be a collection box at the ice cream social dance and outside of 1E following move in until August 16^th at 10:30pm.  If students would like to volunteer at the Durham event to distribute the shoes, let me know.  That is August 18^th from 10-2pm.  It is during the weekday, so I doubt there will be many volunteers.

3. 9/11 Day of Service Volunteer Dates:  (part of: www.911day.org) August 20^th leave NCSSM at 8:45 am for group 1, 9:15 group 2 to volunteer at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC in Durham.  August 27^th time to leave NCSSM is TBD, volunteering time is from 8am – 12pm.
