Without Limits Adds Day of Service
As all the pieces are coming together for the upcoming conference in March, one of the pieces I am most excited about is the Day of Service, to be held on Saturday, March 16 as part of the National Service-Learning Conference. That’s one of my favorite parts of our conference – not only do we talk the talk, we walk the walk.
Local partners, The Piton Foundation and Earth Force, are coordinating off-site service opportunities for our attendees in the Denver Children’s Corridor. The Corridor is a 14-mile stretch in Denver, which the Piton Foundation is helping Corridor children get the start in life they all deserve, focusing community resources, energy and ideas on more effective, more accessible health and education services that help children grow into self-reliant, healthy and successful members of society. They have engaged schools and community organizations in the Corridor to help these children from cradle to college, and the work in the Corridor is truly amazing. The Piton Foundation is a strong advocate for service-learning, stating that “service-learning is critical to urban communities like Denver.”
We are so fortunate to get a glimpse of the local host community, as well as the opportunity to give back. Don’t just visit Denver – give back!
