Attention, Southeast Michigan!
Kasia February 27th, 2007
Do you have a school-aged child? He or she is (or they are) eligible to enter a poster or essay contest (depending on his or her age) sponsored by Wayne State University’s Center for Community-Based Education. K-8 children may submit for the poster contest, 9-12 for the essay contest, and yes, home school children are eligible!
From the poster contest guidelines:
Students must submit a poster addressing the topic, “The Global Community and Me.” Judges will be looking to see interrelated themes of the global community, the importance of community service, and how individuals can help.
From the essay contest guidelines:
Students must submit an essay addressing the topic, “The Global Community and Me.” Judges will be looking to see interrelated themes of the global community, the importance of community service, and how individuals can help.
These contests are being sponsored for National & Global Youth Service Day. The deadline for both is March 30, 2007. Please e-mail Kelley Skillin at kskillin@wayne.edu or me at clamrampant@yahoo.com for complete details.
Wayne State University is partnering with Youth Service America and State Farm Companies Foundation to promote National & Global Youth Service Days (NGYSD) in southeastern Michigan. Wayne State University will mobilize more than 1,000 young people to serve in the community from April 16 – 22, 2007, to foster a lifetime commitment to service, learning, leadership and achievement. Volunteers will conduct service projects addressing children’s literacy, hunger, the environment, and other important issues in the community.
If I can figure out how, I will link to the actual documents on the site so you don’t have to e-mail me or Kelley to get them.
