• Provide information on Development Assets – one service-learning project = 19 developmental assets.
• Provide information and community contacts on ways to reduce violence and bullying – how to become a bully free school.
• Mentoring.
• Tutoring.
• Research.
• Explaining the difference between volunteerism and service-learning.
• Creating field trips.
• Finding paint supplies and/or building relationships with cooperative extensions, city councils, and county commissioners.
• Provide resources on locations to find service-learning grants.
• Providing contacts for learning more about banking/savings accounts – US Bank, Washington Mutual.
• Connecting classrooms with doctors and nurses to learn more about biology and medicine.

These are just a few ways that the Goshen Community Development Coalition can be of service to the classrooms.
