Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
For my Service Learning Project, I volunteered with the Seminole Education, Restoration, and Volunteer (SERV) Program. The purpose of my project was to see how local organizations help to maintain natural areas and control pollution in their communities. SERV performs numerous services to Seminole County, including removing invasive plant species, lake restoration projects, waterway cleanups, storm drain marking projects, and an education program. From my time with SERV, I learned about the importance of nature restoration organizations like SERV in their respective communities, the importance of maintaining our natural lands, and the leadership qualities that are needed to head an impactful organization like the SERV Program.
