Success Stories

Quotes taken from teachers:

• "Love the program." It fits into the YouthBuilders program. The Community 101 program teaches taking responsibility and leadership. It's a great fit around leadership, job readiness training, writing and research. — Eric Scott, Portland YouthBuilders
  
  
• "It's about purpose." It is being used in the ESL program in my school. It is a service learning requirement. This program has the students reflect outside of the classroom. — Celeste Colasurdo, Southridge HS
  
  
• This is a great marriage between education and business; it unites both in the community. — Celeste Colasurdo, Southridge HS



• "Unbelievable program." This program opens students to new ideas, a new way of thinking. This is a great example of a real life and real world program. "Why wouldn't anyone do this?" Next year the program will have a school-wide assembly for the students. — Mike Doran, La Salle HS
  
  
• "They're crazy." (Responding to why wouldn't anyone do this.) It is painfully simple. It might be helpful to show teachers the end product of Community 101 first. — Jeff Linman, Milwaukie HS
  
  
• The notebook is great and having it on-line is great. The workbook is teacher friendly. I would like to share this with other teachers. — Celeste Colasurdo, Southridge HS
