Universal Honors Experience: Focus on Urban Youth

Cleveland State University will partner with the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization (DSCDO), an organization working in the community adjacent to campus. Through an Honors' seminar entitled "Student Leadership and Service: Focus on Urban Communities," Cleveland State students will work with youth on the DSCDO Youth Advisory Council to assess community assets and needs in designing a National Make a Difference Day community service project. Together, the college students and youth will design, recruit, and implement a project that results in better understandings of the local community and fosters a sense of ownership and pride for all involved.
