The Community Service Learning Connection (CSLC) in collaboration with schools,  environmental groups, and youth builds paths to more earth friendly life.

What is the underlying motivation of our mission?

We act out of concern for the quality of life which may be experienced by our progeny if our current cultural trajectory doesn’t change.  Overconsumption, growing global population, extreme militarism, religious fundamentalism,  abuse of  technology, oil depletion,  and environmental degradation, all point to an uncertain future for our youth and we,  as older adults, parents and grandparents want to try and do something to create hope.

Consequently, we want to create cultural change utilizing the energy, skills, personal talents and creative instincts of our youth encouraging the use of local resources and their talent  to foster a spirit of  community self-reliance.    We believe this is the most likely path toward a sustainable, just and peaceful  future.
