School Service Learning Program

About

This is to create awareness to Universities, Colleges and Community Colleges about the many areas that they can participate in OLPC/Sugar community.
Introduce and foster volunteerism within the school environment.
Bring together OLPC's existing school programs.
A good venue to increase the OLPC/Sugar volunteer pool.

Can be an official school program/activity or just a one time presentation to students. ( will depend on how school adopt this kind of program)
Explore OLPC/Sugar activities with school Computer Science dept, education for sugar development and course development. As these future teachers will be the 21st century teachers.:)
Here are some of the activities worth exploring with schools:

Our contributors program
Sugar and etoys activity development
RT volunteers (if they been contributing for a certain period of time)
XO or OLPC campus crusade ( dont know if you have concern on this)
related to #4 students teaching the kids how to use XO & sugar activities ...school can choose one school it can be their own child care center or community outreach.
A ClassAct event after ....to combine experiences of students...etc
OLPC school activity event: meet up (can be organize by most active school org) or campus visits...open for suggestion.

How to make this as global collaboration where school in Asia, Africa, US and Europe collaborate. (but we can start small ...local school group collaboration first and create some activity/program that works) existing program can be a pattern.
Activity like sharing of ideas/skills/ org experiences (e.g Harvard school visits one community college and vice versa.)
to come up with a program for this activity
Scope of the program
How will be the mentoring program ...
How to bring all existing University program together ...

Note: Plz feel free to edit this or add your ideas. I'm very much willing to explore this.

exploring this program with a community college here in New Jersey.
initially introducing OLPC/sugar with them ( I might use some existing presentation materials like of Caryl's presentation)
Present to them how they can participate/opportunity to volunteer.
