Students in Small Group Communication are planning and executing a fundraiser in collaboration with Recharge Teen Center in Monmouth. This organization serves local 13-19 year olds in numerous ways including mentorship, tutoring, and providing educational and social events. The college students are meeting area residents, learning about the role of places like RTC in a community, and reflecting on the importance of effective communication in small groups. This promotional flyer was created by one of the teams in the class.
