Outreach Weekend Reports
Student, faculty and staff volunteers from the University of Illinois work alongside local residents and members of nonprofit groups on various projects. ESLARP designs their Outreach Weekends not only to provide local community groups with physical improvement services, but also to give the students a chance to participate in a service-learning activity that would assist them in their professional development.
