The Importance of Community Based Learning

It was really cool getting to know Ithaca in a different way. The community projects gave us a chance to connect with people in the community, some of who I am still in contact with. Elan introduced us to a number of people who acted as educators, role models, mentors, and some became friends. It was also inspiring to see the dynamic range of programs that are already at work in the community. Some had me wishing they were around when I was growing up. It was great to hear another side of the story than what we see from south hill, having the veil of 'Mythica' slowly lifted by different members of the community.
