On August 3, 2005, the Western New York Service-Learning Coalition will sponsor a Town Hall Conference and Forum entitled "Incorporating Service-Learning into your Organization." The event is being hosted by The Morlock Foundation and will take place at the Forbes Theatre, which is located at 512 Pearl Street in Buffalo, NY. This event is free and is open to the public.
The conference and forum, developed jointly by service providers and faculty, is designed especially for volunteer administrators who are seeking ways to recruit and retain service-learning students and volunteers. The forum will feature individuals from local colleges and universities who oversee service-learning programs and agency representatives who have successful service-learning projects in place at their non-profits. A question and answer period will follow. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and coffee and refreshments will be served. The program will run from 9:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. To RSVP or for more information, please contact Deb Bechtel at 878-3916 or wnyslc@buffalo.com . The Western New York Service-Learning Coalition (WNYSLC) is a group of colleges and universities, K-12 schools, service providers, government agencies, and private organizations. The Coalition is committed to creating valuable service-learning experiences for students that meet local, regional, and global community-identified needs. This is accomplished this through a sharing of resources, curriculum, and best practices. The Coalition welcomes those involved in service-learning or interested in learning more.
