This class will include "service learning" component that will require you to work within the community.  This page provides you with information about service learning in general, links to local resources, local nonprofit and social agencies, activism sites (only if you are interested), and internet resources about your specific issues.  This site will be the most useful for you and your colleagues and other members of the community if you provide links as you find them. Please email me with any information you would like to see included here.
