National Learn & Serve Challenge Week

"The National Learn & Serve Challenge, October 6-12, 2008, is a concentrated week of special events and activities designed to spotlight service-learning successes around the country. It is also designed to show support for Learn and Serve America and inspire other schools and communities to launch their own service-learning initiatives.

Below is a list of simple, but important ways you can participate:
1. Host a service-learning t-shirt or button day at your school or organization... 2. Make a presentation to your local school board and/or city council...
3. Include a service-learning update in your school or organization's newsletter or website...
4. Show the Bring Learning to Life Public Service Announcement or another service-learning video during an upcoming staff or board meeting...
5. Set up a service-learning booth or exhibit table as part of key community events, such as a local football game or Back to School night...
