4th Own Your Own Community
Conference
This CME
event focuses on youth. Organizers convene students for a conference
in the
fall, in which they gain information about social issues, and gain skills
needed for making positive change in their community. Students then work
with adults to craft “doable” service-learning projects proposals
they can bring their schools. In the spring, students reconvene to present
and learn about the progress that has been made.
2nd Annual Civic Mission
of Education Forum
For teachers,
student leaders, and community leaders – with four tracks – Civics
Education, Character Education, Service-Learning and Leadership
Raise Your Voices
Student Advocate/Scholars,
a student led effort, host dialogues around issues; assess where civic
engagement is on campus and this culminated in a week of action in Feb.
2003. Now there are four Regional Centers – UCLA, CSU Fresno, Humbolt
State, and University of California at San Diego. The focus of the centers
is to create partners in progress toward a civically engaged California
which will involve bringing students together from different campuses
to talk about how they’re involved. The week of action with grow
to a month of action.
