 * Global Service Learning Ideas**

Team "D" suggested choices



 * 1. Child labor Issues **

Students research sweatshops and child labor issues from around the world. Students could share their thoughts about their own roles as consumers. They could then identify where consumer can buy socially responsible clothing, create a corporate responsibility letter-writing campaign, launch a consumer awareness petition project, educate teen workers about their rights and/or write a blog.


 * 2. Hunger & Homelessness **

To gain knowledge about the issues of hunger and homelessness, examine conditions that cause poverty that lead to hunger and homelessness, identify people's basic needs, and demonstrate compassion by understanding we have a responsibility to help others.

Students brainstorm reasons for homelessness and hunger, discuss needs in own community, organize resource that could be used, and find a way they could help their own community, e.g. run a canned food drive, make sandwich for local shelter, etc.


 * 3. Consequences of natural disasters. **

Students will research needs driven by aftermath of natural disasters.

Brainstorm or create plan for their community. The class designed a kit for families to use to collect their important papers in case of evacuation, which students distributed to community members.
