Service-Learning Testimonials
Case Study 1 – Service-Learning Case Study
A partnership of four organizations— a local Girl Scout group, the local Multiple Sclerosis Society, and a local hospital and medical school—joined forces to conduct a sidewalk audit in their community. Our team worked with the Girl Scout Troop leaders to instruct their scouts on using the Project Sidewalk platform. The Girl Scouts gained valuable skills in advocacy and knowledge of disability rights and accessibility and contributed to the improvement of accessibility in their community.
