Service Learning Teacher Leaders came together to help shape the future of service-learning in GNO classrooms!

This talented team of educators is revising and strengthening our Ready-To-Go curriculum to make service-learning even more accessible, engaging, and relevant across grade levels and subject areas. Their work will help expand opportunities for students to connect classroom learning to real community needs through authentic, hands-on experiences.

By bringing together teachers from different disciplines and grade levels we're building an even stronger, more flexible curriculum that supports science, ELA, math, social studies, and the arts while empowering students to make a meaningful impact in their communities.

We're grateful for these dedicated educators who are helping ensure that service-learning remains a powerful tool for student engagement, academic growth, and civic action.
