With anticipation for the Super Bowl XLV, SLANT 45 participants have been working to showcase our community all year long. SLANT 45 Service Learning Adventures is a program that encourages children to partake in community service projects to improve the North Texas area. More that 44,000 children were a part of the program that came to an end Wednesday night with a concert at the American Airlines Center. Similar service-learning projects are incorporated into the spring semester of the America SCORES Dallas’ program.
Each year, SCORES poet-athletes have an opportunity to engage in community service projects; past projects include an anti-bullying campaign, a school garden, neighborhood beautification, and a water conservation mural. Both SLANT 45 and America SCORES Dallas are creating opportunities for our youth to become agents of change in their communities through service learning initiatives.
