SPARC Day of Community 2013

This year Rollins SPARC Day of Community (Service, Passion, Activism, Rollins College) will be held on Saturday, August 24th and we would LOVE for you and your department to be involved this year with the Class of 2017! Deeply embedded in the mission of Rollins College: to educate for global citizenship and responsible leadership, SPARC was created in 2006 to introduce our newest Rollins students to the Central Florida community in a day of learning, community service and activism. Students are purposefully placed with community agencies based on their RCC course and inseparable from curricular content, objectives and goals, sparking: community partner/faculty relationship, shared goals, outcomes and learning agreement and a heightened curiosity, both intellectually and action-driven, in continued engagement. As members of the Rollins Team, we hope that are able to contribute some time, and serve as a volunteer during SPARC. Below, I have listed the time slots when we need volunteers.

7:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. (Very Important): Set-up, Snack Allocation, Bus Coordination, and Student/RCC Class Placement

8:00-1:45: p.m. Site Visits-Serve as on-site staff at community agencies, meet new students, and be a part of serving.

12:45-2:45 p.m.: (Very Important): Clean-up, Supply Collection, Support Staff(clean-up)

If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail at mhein@rollins.edu (or give me a buzz 407-691-1021). We will coordinate a follow-up e-mail to discuss the logistics of the day, learning goals/outcomes etc. Additionally, if I have missed anyone on this e-mail, please don't hesitate to forward it along to them
