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.

This course prepares students for the practice of community engagement and community-based learning, and is the first course students take for the Community Scholars Program (CSP), or as a foundation course for the Civic Engagement and Public Service Certificate. Students explore what constitutes appropriate, effective and reciprocal work with a community partner, and how best to integrate this experiential learning with academic learning. The course examines critical issues of social justice, civic leadership, advocacy/activism, social identity and/or other issues of public concern.
