Community Service Learning

MLK Day of Service partners with Portland High School, Boys & Girls Clubs

Posted November 21, 2011

Friday, January 13, on the eve of the Martin Luther King Day holiday weekend, students at USM and students at Portland High School are conducting an anti-bullying workshop for elementary and middle school students at the Boys & Girls Club Riverton Park Clubhouse.  Drawing inspiration from Dr. King's teachings about social justice and the dignity of every person, the interactive workshop will create a "Tolerance Tree," with outlines of their hands as leaves on the tree, representing the insight that it takes all of us to create the community of justice we all seek.
