We Are Community-Minded

SERVICE LEARNING

We believe service makes healthier, more resilient communities.

 

Our goal is to connect Sundog participants to our community in a meaningful way. We partner with like-minded local non-profits that enhance our community and enrich lives. Through exposure, service, and conversation, our participants develop tolerance, empathy, and compassion empowering them to know they too can make a difference.

Because of what we do, the local non-profits we partner with for service learning initiatives are environmentalists and land stewards who facilitate meaningful conservation and action around protecting our lands to strengthen our bonds to our local community.

Please note: Not every Sundog course has a service learning component.
