How can the principles of service-learning be applied in inner-city environments?
What are the issues and opportunities that educators and students face in urban areas?

This event brings together community members, young people, and school leaders to discuss service-learning outreach and application techniques that help urban students achieve academic excellence and become strong community leaders.
