Missouri Service-Learning Leader Schools |
The Missouri Service-Learning Leader Schools program is a state-wide initiative that recognizes schools for their excellence in service-learning. Leader Schools, once so designated, will serve for the following two years as models of excellence for their exemplary integration of service-learning into the curriculum and the life of the school.
Through recognition—and the attendant publicity and peer assistance activities of the recognized schools—this initiative seeks to encourage and increase service-learning opportunities for Missouri’s students.
Delivery deadline is Friday, January 18, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. This is the DELIVERY deadline—not a postmark deadline.

Project Ignition |
|
Sponsored by State Farm® and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC), Project Ignition gives students, grades 9-12, and their teachers the chance to work together to address the issue of teen driver safety – how it affects you, your community and the world around you. You could produce and star in a TV commercial...or maybe a talk show. You could combine traditional direct mail elements with innovative Internet banner ads. Or you could even organize a special performance of art, dance and music. |

MLK Day |
|
The Martin Luther King Day of Service brings together people who might not ordinarily meet, breaks down barriers that have divided us in the past, leads to better understanding and ongoing relationships, and is an opportunity to recruit new volunteers for your ongoing work. Participation in the King Day of Service has grown steadily over the past decade, with hundreds of thousands of Americans each year engaging in projects such as tutoring and mentoring children, painting schools and senior centers, delivering meals, building homes, and reflecting on Dr. King's life and teachings.
