Determined to Serve: The Ricochet Effect
To RICOCHET is the rebounding action of something that hits a surface and bounces off in a different direction. The death or misdirection of innocent youth must be counteracted with positive action to assist them to greater social, economic and developmental potential. When tragedy in society occurs, all too often we freeze instead of proactively and strategically addressing the issue because we are too busy guarding the store. Look behind you. What do you see? Frustration, anger, hurt and distrust? Look in front of you. See love, hope, promise, prosperity and trust. See the principles of what the Million Man March was trying to teach society. "You Are My Brother's Keeper". See taking strategic action in our communities to make them better, cleaner, and safer for our children. Be Determined to Serve!
In Search of Servant Leadership
The National and Community Service Trust Act of 1990 defined service-learning (SL) as a method by which students learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences that meet actual community needs, and (1) that are coordinated in collaboration with the school and community; (2) that is integrated into the student's academic curriculum or provides structured time for a student to reflect upon service; (3) that provides students with opportunities to use newly acquired skills and knowledge in real-life situations in their own communities; and (4) that enhances what is taught in school by extending student learning beyond the classroom and into the community and helps to foster the development of civic responsibility. Thus, SL is a method that permits students to learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service projects in communities that also meet the needs of communities.
