For my service-learning project I did, was neighborhood cleanup on Sunday 10/13/2019. I chose this event because it was the only one that worked with my school/work schedule. As a student, I was interested in helping an UWM. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to get involved with UWM and to serve and support our community. Not only that but it was a great opportunity to explor around MKE and learn more about the surrounding community. As someone whose family has had to utilize community based programs in the past, such as food banks and emergency shelters, I appreciate the efforts and passion that people involved with UWM are putting into their community outreach programs, It shows that we all care about our community and we are ready to make a impact towards are community. The service-learning project was straight forward. All I had to was go out to the community and follow the map that
our leader gave us and go to our specific route in order to pick up trash and recycling items and separate them accordingly around UWM. The first thing I did when getting to the meet up location was to sign in and get into groups of six. After that we read the directions, appoint a leader within our group, grab our material, and then headed out to pick up trash. The objective was to pick up trash and to clean up the community, our duty/goal of the service leaning, was to serve the community around us and to make it better. We aimed to serve the community around us as well as the UWM community. The project first started as a small task but then devolved into something bigger that people who are walking, driving, even biking around will notice the cleanliness of the surrounding community. I feel like our group met the objective with a good degree and we did everything in our power to clean up the community.
