Make a positive contribution to communities throughout the world
...
In the World of Service, CWRU students from all academic disciplines
engage in service-learning experiences around the globe to help
individuals, families, organizations, and agencies of government
meet their needs in a variety of areas, including the following:
- Education/ mentoring
- The arts
- Public health
- The environment
- Housing/homelessness
- Technology
Students work closely with local residents and leaders to identify
needs and to plan, implement, and evaluate solutions. Projects are
innovative and interesting, with impacts that range from the personal
to the communal.
