Welcome to the cutting-edge! These service-learning project resources are designed to make the process simpler and more powerful for all involved:

  • Special website resources with detailed instruction for each project step (YOU ARE HERE)
    • Customized Google Drive-based spreadsheets (a.k.a. Drive Guides) for designing and completing projects (including by participants communicating and recording progress)

    These are accessible for no charge during the testing/honing phase. We can customize and share the spreadsheets once you’re ready to start designing a project. Score!
