Volunteer Program: Georgetown University FOCI

On August 20th, SED hosted a group of 10 students from Georgetown University to volunteer as teacher aides in the Children’s program. The volunteers worked with children in small group activities and supervised the children at the park. As every year, these students contributed their time in the classroom.

FOCI Program

First-Year Orientation to Community Involvement (FOCI) is an intensive pre-orientation program for incoming first-year and transfer students. FOCI serves as an introduction to community service, volunteer activism, and social justice issues in the greater Washington, DC region. FOCI participants actively engage in community service; discover and reflect on the diverse populations, perspectives, and roles in the Georgetown and DC communities; develop the capacity for leadership, and become part of a community committed to personal growth through service and reflection.
