Thomson, J. Ivy Harvey; Brain, Roslynn
Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, v6 2017
Environmental sustainability outreach programs can benefit significantly by connecting to and fostering change within the Spanish speaking community. This article demonstrates a case study in which the authors partnered with a local Latino organization through an undergraduate service learning project. The goals were to incorporate environmentally sustainable behaviors both with young Latino students in school and with their families at the household level.
