Project Introduction

We are a small group of students who volunteer as writing instructors in a community literacy project at a local homeless shelter. It is our hope that the project will expose unequal social powers, break stereotypes, and create support systems for the homeless community. This forum is a place to discuss ethical issues that may arise in service learning projects, exchange composition/project ideas, showcase participants' writings, talk about community concerns, and share lived experiences pertaining to the projects and the participating community itself. We invite service learning project participants to share their experiences and writings.
