Institute Overview

Young people across the country have been learning academic skills, meeting standards, and finding meaningful opportunities to participate in projects designed to help their families and communities prepare for and respond to disasters or emergencies through service learning.

Join us at the Hyatt Hotel in historic Philadelphia for this fun 2 day interactive institute. Participants will acquire knowledge, skills, and resources related to implementing high quality service learning, with an emphasis on school and community safety, disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Who should attend?

Teams of teachers, students, school administrators, community based staff, AmeriCorps members and anyone interested in connecting disaster preparedness and response or school and community safety into their curriculum through service learning.
