WNY’s only organ, eye, tissue, and community blood donation center (UNYTS) and Buffalo State’s DAN201 students teamed together to deliver sensitive information to youth using creative movement for better understanding and retention of the Donate Life mission. DAN201 students were representatives of UNYTS while presenting to other community youth organizations. The topic of donation is challenging to address with young people. Through kinesthetic/tactile methods of delivery, children left presentations engaged, knowledgeable, and empowered.

Students hold a Global Book Hour that includes reading in small groups, a healthy snack, and an art activity at Wegmans' Amherst Street location. Here, Buffalo State students are reading One Green Apple by Eve Bunting to children.

Undergraduate and graduate students in Dr. Robin Harris’s service-learning course in Science Education work with youth on the West Side at the Buffalo State Community Academic Center. In this weekly program, Buffalo State students create science lessons drawing from a variety of literacy activities to enhance the science skills of youth.

Students complete 20 hours of service with an agency that assists clients with issues related to poverty. This student is teaching youth the game of checkers.

Students work in groups of 3-5 on projects connected to the problem solving process steps. They do not need to do a complete process. They need to think about possibilities and making choices. These students are helping the VSLC arrange data into affinity groups to identify themes.
