PROGRAM

Katie Flowers – Director, HWS Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning (CCESL)

Heather Mills – Geneva 2030

Leah Sulecki – new Assistant Director of CCESL

Katie talked about the many ways HWS and its students engage with the Geneva community, from tutoring to Days of Service to working on community-based projects in partnership with local agencies and businesses – what HWS refers to as “Co-educators.”  HWS emphasizes the importance of community service. Some students sharing that interest live in the Civic Engagement House. 

Heather talked about Geneva 2030, a special and ongoing effort that brings together social service providers, agencies and others to work together to ensure that all Geneva kids are 1) kindergarten and school ready; 2) are successful in school when they get there; 3) are college and/or career-ready and 4) that these efforts are community led — from “cradle to career.”
