Resources
Through our work and service we often follow the philosophy of serving and learning. We hope that through your involvement with the Department of Community Service and the Waltham Group that you will learn something new about yourself, your peers and the many individuals that you will interact with. We are dedicated to making your experience both meaningful and worthwhile. When one volunteers they often experience emotions that range on the spectrum from fear and hopelessness to pride and joy. There are numerous resources for you to evaluate and reflect as you continue your journey of service. On this site you will find resources as they relate to your volunteerism, career and journey of life-long learning.
Dialogue as a form of Reflection
