Leadership Through Service, a program sponsored by the Community Service Office at Washington University, provides 90 incoming freshmen with an opportunity to explore the St. Louis community while acclimating to college life.
The students participate in multiple community service projects and receive leadership training. New in 2008, students talked with the new principal of Hamilton Elementary School, Mr. Todd Williams, about the challenges of urban education.
Then all of the students participated in service projects at Hamilton including fence painting and creating bulletin boards to welcome the students back to school.
The three days of work at Hamilton were coordinated by Cheryl Adelstein, Washington University’s director of community relations. Stephanie Kurtzman, director of the University’s Community Service Office, says, “We hope that these students develop an interest and attachment to Hamilton and then will choose to stay involved with the school by joining the ranks of Washington University student tutors who participate in Each One Teach One at Hamilton School.”
