Into the Streets is a national program designed to introduce students to thoughtful community service and to provide a learning experience that will challenge them to volunteer on a regular basis. The ongoing goal of Into the Streets is to stengthen student capacities to solve the problems we face as a society. We recognize that this goal will only be accomplished through sustained and persistent action and in partnership with many different individuals and institutions.

March 19-25: A week of community service and educational programming (speakers, forums, films, etc.) focused on specific issues in our community.

Any club or individual wishing to participate in a group service project during Into the Streets please stop by or call the ACT office at 262-2193.
