School is back in session and we want to share with you cool ways to get involved in service-learning.
GenerationOn’s partners at YSA are offering UnitedHealth HEROES grants of up to $1,000 for youth-led projects that encourage kids to get active and healthy. Grants are available for youth-led service-learning projects which aim to combat childhood obesity through walking, running or hiking programs.
Barbara Dillbeck taught elementary school in Michigan for over 20 years and is currently the Curriculum Director of generationOn. She is an active grandmother of four and an avid animal welfare advocate.
My ‘Point of Light’ is a dear friend who has enriched my life in so many ways. She has shown me what pure joy looks like, helped relieve stress, listened carefully to all I have to say. She is compassionate, empathic, dependable, and bearded – yes, bearded.
