Service Learning
Students work with local community organizations to enhance youth culture and stem youth flight from remote villages in northern Togo to the plantations of Nigeria and Benin. Students teach computer classes, give out small micro-finance loans to teens, run a writers' collective, and evaluate a health insurance system. The program's service themes include children/youth services, community development/outreach, and health/human services.
