The Durham Nativity School is a nonprofit organization that provides free private school tuition to at-risk middle school students in the Durham area. OASIS is a supplemental retreat program for the students at this school. We take their students (approximately 15-35 students are expected to attend each retreat) on weekend long retreats to various areas that are relatively near (but outside of) the Durham area.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/126803">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/126803#comments at-risk challenge character character development community development Domestic Violence Duke Durham Education &amp; Environment fun homeless North Carolina outdoor poverty retreat youth youth development 36.028685 -78.923980 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:51:12 -0500 cmueller 126803 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/87780 <p><p>A project at a local middle school will focus on creating school attachments and community bonds through </p> <p>volunteering to create an outdoor classroom, trail, and set of learning centers.

This school’s students are nice, friendly, and quite intelligent. Unfortunately, many of the students are not interested in reading. My Eagle Scout project has the potential to correct this problem by creating a fun reading environment for the students. I plan to construct an outdoor classroom area that contains benches and a storyteller’s chair.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/63861">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/63861#comments education Education &amp; Environment fun outdoor peaceful reading science students study area 35.267185 -80.426800 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:17:48 -0500 jscout 63861 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/62990 <p><p>Ridgecrest Elementary is a K-8 school located in a rural community in western Stanly County, North Carolina.
