Another question for my virtual community out there.
All-school service days seem to be gaining in popularity, such as the
Martin Luther King service days, the "Into the Street" programs, etc.
Our institution is looking to host such a day, but have never done
anything like it before. I am looking for feedback from institutions
who have hosted all-school service days ....Were there liability
problems? How did you handle transportation? What sort of service
did your students perform? How were the students and services
organized? How did you recruit volunteers? How did you reward
volunteers? How many participated? Did you have a group reflection
time before or afterwards? Did you have any sort of program before or
afterwards?
I recommend contacting COOL to get an Into the Streets Manual. It addresses
nearly every issue you mentioned.
