Community 101

Community 101 provides students an opportunity for real-life learning through philanthropy and volunteering. It is a leadership experience that empowers students to directly impact their community through civic engagement. Students discover they can make a difference. Students learn about their community through grant-making and volunteering.  They determine a key community issue they wish to focus on and establish a mini-foundation. After surveying the student body, this year's students determined that child abuse was the most significant community issue. Students awarded grants totaling $5000 to the Relief Nursery, SCAR/Jasper Mountain, Child Advocacy of Lane County, and CASA of Lane County.
