Service Learning 220 - The Boltwood Project

The BOLTWOOD Project is a course that supports a student-run civic engagement and leadership program designed to provide enrichment, recreation, and socialization for adults and children of diverse intellectual or physical ability. Under the guidance and supervision of student leaders, students enrolled in this course participate in small groups that organize weekly enrichment activities at multiple sites throughout the region. Through participation in seminars and weekly sessions at a variety of service provider sites, students build friendships across differences of ability, and develop strategies to oppose ableism through a deepened understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and complex lives of people with disabilities.
