SEE celebrates the award of $300,000 in funding over the next three years to sustain and expand our service-learning program entitled Building Ethical Communities which emphasizes ethical reflection. The Calder Foundation and the State of Connecticut’s Learn & Serve program have each awarded SEE and our partner, Albert Schweitzer Institute (ASI) money to support student-leadership workshops, student project grants, follow-up technical assistance, and project evaluation. The program will expand to include 24 student teams for the 2000-2001 school year.
