Jade, Lisa and Janet prepare to teach the 6th graders about volunteerism and service-learning

Today, students from Herberg Middle School had the opportunity to attend college. Amongst the workshops offered to 200 sixth graders, Service-Learning provided an interactive game for students to learn about their peers’ previous experiences with volunteerism. Beyond this, they enjoyed the opportunity to learn about other potential adventures they can have volunteering in the community. This game, People Bingo, was a bingo board with a variety of opportunities in which students had to get the signatures of the adults and their peers that were in the room who had participated in the specific volunteer opportunities listed. It was also an exciting time for the Service-Learning Student Leaders to share their own experiences in the field. Between the poptarts and rice krispy treats, the kids seemed to really enjoy the lessons learned and shared. Service-Learning looks forward to next year’s round of students.

Students try to find out what activities in which their peers have participated
