Many thanks to Steven Myers, the Service Learning Resource Teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools, for speaking about FCPS’ service learning programming at last week’s club meeting!
Service learning involves students in authentic and meaningful service to their communities therefore developing their career and personal civic interests. This educational approach includes partnering with an agency (usually a non-profit or social service group) while learning theories in the classroom. The long term goal outside of potential career development is lifelong community engagement.

This event is Food for Other's largest fundraiser of the year and brings together the local community for a morning racing against hunger here in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia. They have 500+ community members join us at Tysons Corner Center where they hold the Runner's Village on the PenFed Plaza with the race taking place around the mall. With this, they need all the support possible to make the event happen including 20 course marshals that help guide runners out on the race course and help cheer everyone on. The shift would begin around 7am with everything wrapping up by 9:30am, where everyone meet with vendors/sponsors at the Runner's Village as well as enjoy some breakfast.
