Project: Youth Initiative This summer, Project: VISION's mission was to put the "learning" back into service learning. Most of Chicago's public school students are required to complete service learning hours in order to graduate high school, and some elementary schools even require this of their 8th grade graduates. However, all too often, students see this as yet another requirement, another chore to complete before receiving their hard-earned diplomas and kids end up scrounging for any type of volunteer hours to fulfill the assignment, thus defeating the purpose of service learning. | ||||||

Project: VISION wanted to change this perception of service learning this summer through our new program, Project: Youth Initiative. We believe that by first teaching kids about the social issues that our communities face, they will be more likely to truly engage in the service projects because of the sense of purpose they gain from knowledge.
