Service Learning Through Minding Our Bus

Catalog description

A community service mentoring project designed to promote leadership, teamwork, and entrepreneurship among Trenton youth through a school-based team mentoring model. Students will undergo intensive training in leadership skills, communication skills, team building skills, cultural diversity, small business entrepreneurship, and problems of early adolescent development prior to their fieldwork experience. Students will form teams to mentor groups of students at a Trenton middle-school in the creation and management of their own microbusinesses. Student journals, quizzes, field trips and class meetings will serve to organize and structure experiential learning.
