Title: Thank you to Oregon City Service Learning Academy for Community 101 grant!!!!

Post date: 06/08/2009 - 08:34

Body:

Oregon City Service Learning Academy is a charter school through the Oregon City School District with a different approach to earning high school credit.
Community 101 “is a class put together by the PGE Foundation, and is funded through the Oregon Community Foundation,” noted sophomore class advisor Matt Schulfer, a math and PE instructor at OCSLA.

His students were given a $5,000 grant, and then had to do some research of non-profit organizations, to determine which ones were going to receive grant money.

“They chose three focus areas: stress, depression and self-esteem; child abuse; and arts and music,” Schulfer said.

Students then contacted 10 non-profits that fit into the focus areas, sifted through applications, chose organizations to support, and then wrote acceptance letters to the four agencies selected.

This Friday, representatives from Morrison Child and Family Services, the Jackson Street Youth Shelter, KBOO radio station and Homowo African Arts and Culture will attend a ceremony at the school to receive checks.
