Sanctuary, Incorporated of Guam is hosting our Too Cool to Do Drugs virtual youth conference this September! We intend to reach out to provide service learning opportunity for all middle and high school students during our upcoming conference on September 12, 2020.

As a non-profit community-based organization, we seek to reach out to Guam’s youth and offer education and prevention skills in the struggles of substance abuse, suicide, and social/interpersonal relationships.

Micronesia Climate Change Alliance (MCCA) is a grassroots network of individuals and organizations dedicated to creating community-centered solutions to climate change. MCCA is a non-profit organization that needs your help reducing plastics going into the island’s landfill. Students will see firsthand Guam’s battle against post-consumer plastic waste and join in the fight to help reduce plastics going into the landfills.

 

Community Garden plots are available for any member of the community. Adopt your own plot, choose what you will plant and grow, learn how to be a gardener, and share your knowledge with others in the Community Garden community. Once you reap your harvest, you can share it with anyone in your community who needs fresh produce. 

If you are a ProStart student at any of the the designated high schools, you have an opportunity to earn service learning hours by applying the skills you are acquiring in this program. You will teach a cooking and nutrition class at the Island Girl Power Clubhouse. 

Island Girl Power in Dededo has adopted nearby neighborhood parks in Kaiser Dededo to restore and maintain. There are large walls that are available for painting of murals. This project is an opportunity for students to plan a mural, to raise funds for it, and to paint it. Doing this will help provide the neighborhood with a positive environment in which to play and relax. 

A basketball court is located in formerly abandoned parks that Island Girl Power has adopted. You can serve your community by teaching younger children the skills and rules of the game. At the same time, you are making use of this park in a positive way to promote a healthy lifestyle. 

Island Girl Power in Dededo has adopted a parcel of land next to its complex to develop into a Nature Center. The park provides students and the community an opportunity to experience the elements of nature, such as plants and animals, in a serene setting. It is a huge project that needs constant maintenance.

To provide families with a safe place to play and relax, Island Girl Power has adopted neighborhood parks in the Kaiser Dededo area, but needs help maintaining these parks.

Do you love books and reading? If you would like to share your love of books and reading with young children that may not have access to books of their own, here is a service learning project you were meant to do! 

The Island Girl Power Clubhouses in Dededo and Malesso could use the help of high school girls to be teachers and mentors to the clubhouse members, ages 7 to 14.  Island Girl Power is a local prevention program focusing on offering positive activities and role models to young girls and their families. Come and be part of the IGP experience!
