First year students get a chance right away to participate in the Greater Green Bay Area community with Into the Streets!
|
|
Into the Streets, part of the Week of Welcome, is a one-day FYE community immersion event that takes SNC volunteers off campus and into the Greater Green Bay Area Community. This unique opportunity gives students a chance to learn about the incredible community that surrounds St. Norbert College. Students are bussed to volunteer sites off-campus where they learn about involvement opportunities and take part in a service project.
Following Into the Streets, FYE mentors present a reflection on the event and opportunities for further involvement to the FYE groups. In addition to SNC first year students and FYE mentors, numerous other SNC students, staff, and faculty participate to make Into the Streets a wonderful, meaningful experience for all involved.

Thank You to our Host Sites
Into the Streets would not be successful without the help of the volunteer sites and their coordinators. Thank you! The volunteers engaged in activities such as eliminating invasive species, participating in activities with children, and completing yard work. If you would like to get involved with any of these organizations, please contact Amanda Loewen, VISTA Coordinator (amanda.loewen@snc.edu).
