Service Learning in Jamaica (Winter 2012-2013)
TRAVEL WITH A PURPOSE IN JAMAICA.
This program ran in the Winter of 2012-2013.
We anticipate it will run again in the Winter of 2014-2015.
Get into the field and learn the meaning of service learning. This program combines a course on campus during the 2012-2013 Winter Term with service learning projects in the famous Alpha Schools of central Kingston, Jamaica during Christmas Recess to create a unique Learning Community. Work with Music and Education faculty in the classroom and on-site in Kingston, Jamaica. This is a hands-on learning experience which combines two different disciplines and offers students the chance to learn and teach alongside young Jamaicans.
