Accepted students will convene for a week on the Furman University campus where they will investigate topics such as engaging in the community, analyzing critical issues, practicing ethical leadership, developing communication and presentation skills, and planning for the implementation of a service project.<\/p>\n

Following the summer, students work with Institute staff, school officials, and residents in their communities to more fully develop their service project ideas, and then later implement projects that reflect needs in their communities.<\/p>\n

The students return to campus the following spring to present their community service projects to a panel of judges, and the winning project receives funds for program expansion or replication.<\/p>\n
