Project SHINE

Prospective Student Participants

Students participate in Project SHINE through a course or as volunteers.  They spend twenty hours 'coaching' in an ESOL or citizenship class designed for adult immigrant and refugees.  As a participant, you'll provide a valuable service to the Utica community, but will find that you'll learn as much as you teach. 

 
As a student participant, you'll benefit by...
- gaining real life experience that relates to academic courses and makes lectures, readings, and discussions in class more  relevant, and more personal by integrating practice with theory 
- developing an intergenerational relationship
- learning about a different culture and sharing your own
- getting off the hill and into neighboring Utica, which has a storied history and a diverse population.
