Opportunities
Members of the club will have opportunities to learn about and experience different cultures through guest speakers and cultural activities in order to better understand the world in which we live and our role as global citizens. Members will serve as "cultural ambassadors" to the school and our local community. Each year we will organize and participate in at least one service-learning project to aid local groups or international groups.
