The Community Action Project is a student driven, teacher led means of identifying issues within the community and working as a group to address these needs, ultimately empowering students transformation into active agents of change.  Students will work collaboratively to create an in depth community profile, conduct research to discover root causes and consequences of community problems, and create and implement a solution via a research driven Community Action Plan. This project will meet on campus but may require additional off campus responsibilities. Previous topics include bullying, vandalism on campus, and counselor to student ratios.
