Educating Citizens - Building Communities

“Being in this program has not only given me a chance to help the community, but also to learn new skills and create a network of community agencies that could be beneficial to my future career as a social worker. It has built professional and personal relationships that would have never been created had I not been in the M3C Fellowship Program.” — Kristin Acton, M3C Fellow, Lorain County Community College

"I think that the fact that the class is being held outside of the academic setting is excellent , especially since it puts into practice everything that we learn in class, almost like a trial by fire, of what actually works, what doesn’t work, and how theory can be applied in real life. This class is an asset. The class must continue, and I for one, will continue to look for more chances like this." — Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Student

“Wisconsin Campus Compact has brought more visibility and awareness, more leveraging of resources, and more collaboration with other organizations on multiple levels than would ever have been possible with even the best network of individual, campus-based service-learning and civic engagement programs.” — Don Mowry, Director, Service-Learning Center, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

“The most important thing an institution does is not to prepare a student for a career, but for a life as a citizen.” — Frank Newman

"The M3C Program is so vital. Where my work with one child stops, that child's work with another volunteer must begin. All of us [Fellows] provide an uplifting service for our sites that we will never be able to fully understand. Our work has a lasting value." — Hannah Lartz, M3C Fellow, UW-Milwaukee
