MLK DAY GRANTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED

11/21/2013

0 Comments

 
ORCC in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service have approved 14 grants for the 2014 MLK Day of Service Collegiate Challenge.  These grants will fund high-impact projects and create lasting community partnerships.  Grants were awarded to campuses from all over the western United States, ranging as far west as University of Hawaii at West Oahu and as far south as Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Each campus came up with a unique and thoughtful way to honor Dr. King whether it be a rally to encourage and support civic engagement, a food drive, or the creation of college access kits.  Highlights of the grant proposals include:

  • OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE - Occidental College will partner with 20 community organizations to mobilize 200-300 participants in activities such as food harvesting, outdoor beautfication, and gardening.
  • SOUTHERN OREGON UNIVERSITY - SOU is partnering with Mosaic, a multicultural mentoring agency to reach out to high school students of color and/or queer identified students to engage them in community service.
  • UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON at BOTHEL - University of Bothel and Cascadia Community College will host a campus day of service.  The activities include environmental restoration, a food drive, service in retirement homes, writing letters to active military service and a K12 clothing drive.
  • WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY at VANCOUVER - Will host a day of education and service featuring a keynote speaker, educational sessions, a food drive, and a undergarment clothing drive for incarcerated women.
Oregon Campus Compact congratulates all the MLK Day of Service Grant Applicants.  May the largest mobilization of college students in the country only continue to grow with these community partnerships.
