Chapter 7 : Community Based Resources


This section describes some of the other various local, county, regional, and state resources which can be utilized in the various courses.  Not all were utilized in the projects due to time constraints.  These are meant for additional personnel and expertise, beyond those contacts listed in Section VI. To be used as consultants, this increased contact with students will enable a better understanding of some of the underlying issues which are associated with the various areas of study. Also, the increased interpersonal skills will bring full circle the comfortable atmosphere of service leaning - direct contact with the community.
