GCS High School Service-Learning Ambassador Training was held Saturday November 19th at Dudley High School

What a wonderful opportunity for groups like ours to network with junior and senior GCS High School students interested in service-learning! As Service Learning Ambassadors they will take the information back to share with their fellow students. We got to talk to 150 students as they rotated to our tables over a three hour period.

See below a list of High Schools whose representatives signed up with interest in doing service learning with our k-8 school gardens. We can send you contact info if you are interested in working with students from one of these schools.
