Winter Sustained Service Scholars!

The Center for Civic Engagement at Miami University Hamilton is excited to bring the incredibly successful Sustained Service Scholars program to the Miami "Winter Term"!! 

During the first three weeks of January Miami students have the opportunity to take accelerated classes! These three weeks are known as "Winter term". This term is a great opportunity for students to participate in short study aboard trips, complete Miami Plan requirements online, or extend their winter break. While this term is a great opportunity for students to do something out of the norm, it leaves a number of our community partners in need of consistent volunteers, much like the summer. 

Hamilton Boys & Girls Club had such an amazing experience with the Sustained Service Scholars over the summer and approached Miami University Hamilton in order to provide volunteers to their program at the Booker T. Washington Community Center! Of course, we were more than happy to set up another Sustained Service Scholars program! 

From January 5th-January 23rd we have five Miami Hamilton students participating in the Sustained Service Scholars program at Booker T. Washington with the Boys & Girls Club program! Three of the Sustained Service Scholars are volunteering 4 days a week!! The scholars attended an orientation on Friday December 19th. During orientation the Scholars had an opportunity to meet with Tanya Lowry, the Booker T. Washington Community Center Director and Karen Miller, Director of Hamilton Boys & Girls Club. They toured the center and learned more about their role in the Boys & Girls club program! 

Thank you to the Booker T. Washington Community Center, Hamilton Boys & Girls Club and most of all the students for the wonderful opportunity and service that we're able to provide to the youth at BTW!
