Virtually engaging in cross cultural education, while establishing global connections, allowed me to authentically experience the ‘learning’ aspect of service-learning. Exploring Trentino, Italy through environmental, agricultural, and economic lenses diversified my perspective on study abroad. Most importantly, collaboratively helping the international education organization, Dolomit, reinvigorated my desire to grow as... Continue reading

AMP On Zoom
This is my second year being a mentor for AMP and I was a little wary of how this would be over Zoom since I was able to do it in person last year. Even with everything being online, coming to AMP and seeing all the kids interact with each... Continue reading

As a returning mentor I was unsure what virtual AMP was going to look like and presented a challenge for the teachers, mentors, coordinators and mentees.

Georgia Lapierre's Community Connections Experience
Community Connections was a program that I knew I would enjoy, but it became so much more than I could have ever imagine or asked for. Many of the organizations in Bridgeport that I am still involved with are because of CC. I never thought that my passion for community... Continue reading
