FAQ:
-
Is Into the Streets happening this year?
- YES! Into the Streets is going to feature remote projects and will last the week of October 24-30. This year we have remote projects to help limit contact during the pandemic. Some projects can be done on-campus, and include materials that will be provided by the Center for Community and Civic Engagement. Other projects can be done anywhere, whether you’re on or off-campus. With Into the Streets lasting for a week, you’ll be able to engage in service projects at times that fit your schedule.

What will the projects be like?
-
We have remote projects, with some that can be done on-campus, and others that can be done anywhere whether you’re on or off-campus.
On-campus projects include things like creating cards to send to local nursing home residents, creating crafts to send to shut-ins, and projects to support community health projects in Africa. The Center for Community and Civic Engagement will provide the materials you need for these projects. Some projects have limited capacity.
Other projects for both on and off-campus participants include recording reading children’s books for local preschools, recording performances for local nursing homes, and participating in online research projects in the sciences and humanities that include classifying photographs and transcribing manuscripts. You can also provide your own remote project idea and make it happen.
