Service-learning students from educational departments who need education hours who work in public schools have spent time accumulating required hours onsite.  Occupational therapy students worked with traveling therapists in weekly sessions. High school students looking for community service hours have benefited from assisting with sitting up activities and events, as well as helping teachers assemble their prep work on a Saturday afternoon while enjoying some free pizza. Others have assisted with our non-profit holiday food drive and back-to-school drive for the lower-income families in the community.
