Working with the Mayor’s Youth Council and Nobles and Greenough School in Dedham, MA, SA Partners organized a service learning day at five branches of the BPL on Saturday, November 20. Librarians at those branches publicized the activity and recruited children to attend. The service learning revolved around teens offering a two-hour session to 30 children ranging in age from two to ten.
In preparation for the activity, the Boston Children’s Museum held a training workshop to demonstrate how to offer one of “One Africa, Many Country’s” five modules and tips on how to read aloud to a group of children.
Coordinated by SA Partners, the service learning offered a template for future ‘service’ collaborations that will become part of its ongoing activities in Boston.
