Kalamazoo College students volunteer at Kalamazoo Public Schools and community sites supporting Newcomer families and kids through community based coursework and CCE student-led civic engagement programs. This Fall, Candace Combs’ course, One in a Billion, has twenty seven students participating in ongoing partnership in classrooms at Lincoln Elementary, Milwood Middle School, Phoenix High School, and Oakwood Community Center. Newcomer families in Kalamazoo come from all over the world and the relationships and supports forged with this partnership help to create a more accessible and inclusive community for all people living here.

Please take a look at this month’s issue of the student-created newsletter for an update on how the year is getting started!
