Service learning integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. Service learning course objectives are linked to real community needs and are designed in cooperation with community partners and service recipients. Incorporating service learning experiences into our study groups is an important part of OLLI's strategic plan. OLLI is pleased to work with Groundcover News, a local organization located in the basement of Bethlehem Church in Ann Arbor. This four-week service learning course will include a weekly discussion and volunteer commitment. Volunteering opportunities will include editing stories, video interviewing homeless people for the website, assisting with expunging criminal records and obtaining IDs. You are encouraged to eat a meal together to get to know the community. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through May 22nd.
