This project, initiated in January, 2000, is designed to bring students together with their Friendship Families for work days at local community service agencies. While completing this volunteer work, students conduct interviews, take photos and, afterwards, write up their experiences. This Web page, maintained by the ISALC ESL/Community Outreach Intern, serves as a record of the service visits and publicizes the work done by students and their Friendship Families. The main goals of the project are to provide a meaningful context in which to develop students' language skills, while strengthening ties with their Friendship Families and the Portland community.
