Outreach...can you find it?

I have been interested and have completed several community service projects over the years and my passion for it has only grown. When looking at universities to attend after my high school graduation i was mainly looking at location and how much each school cost for a year. Wouldn't it have been fun if I looked at the university's community outreach program's that would not only enrich my life but my resume as well. Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio is a campus rich in community programs. They currently have 20 blog posts all about the community programs that are sponsored and performed through the university. They have a "Case for Community Day" where they challenge every student to participate and give back to the community. Things can be as simple as a food or clothing drive, volunteering at a local school, spending time with the elderly or an infinite amount of possibilities. The challenge I have for you is to go out and find an outreach program through your school or another school that does work in the area that you live in. It is important to recognize the impact that you can have on people by just doing something small. Every university should have a program and it is up to the student's to find out and participate and make their community a better place. But for the purpose of the class that I'm currently writing this blog for I will only focus on colleges/universities in the Baltimore metro area.
