Project Description: In their service learning activities, Sac State Students will interact with children or adolescents in an informal setting outside of the classroom. While the college students may serve as mentors to the younger students, younger students will be able to direct the conversations and interactions they have with the college students. In this way, the SOC170 students will learn about the child's own peer cultures, interests, and concerns from the child's own perspectives.
