Break Description

THIS BREAK IS CO-SPONSORED WITH APO. ONLY MEMBERS OF APO CAN SIGN UP FOR THIS BREAK.

Ready to make a difference by combining creativity with education? Join us to volunteer with Loop It Up Savannah and help shape the future for students in Title 1 schools!

Loop It Up Savannah offers arts-integrated programming, including visual and performing arts, early literacy, STEAM activities (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), school gardening, and mindfulness techniques. By volunteering, you'll play a pivotal role in fostering creativity, building confidence, and supporting emotional stability among the youth of Savannah.

We will assist elementary students with The Book Box Library Project, where kindergartners design and decorate wooden crate bookcases filled with age-appropriate books. We get to help guide them as they bring their favorite stories to life, creating their first personal library.

We'll travel to beautiful Savannah, GA, in a JMU van and stay in accommodations provided by local partners. Prepare for a week filled with creativity, community, and unforgettable experiences as we work together to support the next generation of innovators and leaders.

Come join us for a transformative experience that blends art, education, and service in the heart of Savannah!

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
