We Are Community-Minded

SERVICE LEARNING

We believe service makes healthier, more resilient communities.

 

Our goal is to connect Sundog participants to our community in a meaningful way. We partner with like-minded local non-profits that enhance our community and enrich lives. Through exposure, service, and conversation, our participants develop tolerance, empathy, and compassion empowering them to know they too can make a difference.

Because of what we do, the local non-profits we partner with for service learning initiatives are environmentalists and land stewards who facilitate meaningful conservation & action around protecting our lands to strengthen our bonds to our local community.

Please note: Not every Sundog course has a service learning component.
