The Service Project: The GLWI building is situated on Milwaukee's inner harbor. Surrounded by paved roadways and cement docks and walkways, the building itself supports 86,700 sq. ft. of horizontal asphalt and pea gravel rooftop. In 2003, a 7,600 sq. ft. first floor section of the GLWI roof was converted to a vegetated green roof in order to demonstrate an innovative and cost-effective stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) for the Milwaukee metro area and University of Wisconsin System. In 2005, a rain garden was also established near the parking lot of the GLWI building. The installation and maintenance of the GLWI green roof and a rain garden offers a working model of an aesthetically-impressive stormwater mitigation strategy that is especially suited to dense urban development.

From the past to the future, we are committed to the return of this vital natural resource for all as Milwaukee's urban rivers land trust. Our Vision:
The River Revitalization Foundation advocates environmental conservation, public access and sensitive recreation in metro Milwaukee's river watersheds.

To address critical land use issues and further the greenway concept, our primary focus includes ensuring:
1. Public access
2. Preservation of the River Valley
3. Preservation of green space in a dense urban area
4. Riparian buffers against encroaching development
5. Links with neighborhoods on both sides of the river
6. Conservation of critical habitat and wildlife areas

By convening partners with shared vision, values and mission, we can influence planning decisions made along this corridor.
Student service learning participants may be engaged in ecological restoration by removing invasive plants and planting natives.
Outreach is also a desired goal for RRF. We hope to form a relationship with all students and the river and in particular the students at Riverview Student Housing.
Education and outreach can be combined in our Quest program, a sample is on our web site. Student service learning participants can help create and refine quests.

The service learner will work alongside Urban Ecology Center staff and volunteers to help preserve & protect the public natural areas of Riverside Park. Service Learners will learn from our land stewards the difference between native and non-native plants and effective removal techniques for exotic, invasive species. Service Learners will help maintain our rain, rooftop & butterfly gardens as well as our native landscaping. Service Learners may also participate in the upkeep and mulching of our nature trails. The ideal service learner is comfortable and excited about working outside, even in cold weather, doesn't mind getting dirty, is willing to learn about native and invasive plant species, and is physically able to bend over, kneel, walk up and down hills and over rugged terrain.

Placement is for Fall and Spring Semester. Hours per week variable.
Days/times (including weekends) variable.
This service learning experience requires outside research in order to develop a laboratory experience for non-majors covering plant families, fruit and floral characteristics as well as greenhouse basics. The students will design tours to cover these subjects, using a template but throwing in their own research. It is a unique opportunity to excite students about the wide diversity of plants.
The CES students must be self motivated. All the students must meet as a group for a 45-minute tour after the orientation meeting. This tour is required. Four pairs of students will work with the greenhouse staff to develop and guide custom tours, and with the TA to produce a brief quiz for each class. The entire project will be completed the week of Nov. 2nd and there will be no opportunities for makeup. Each pair of students is required to lead four tours through the greenhouse facilities, each one hour long. Tours will be split among the pairs. Pairs may decide to specialize, each guide doing two of the four greenhouse rooms, then swap groups with their partner, or be more general and do all four rooms, keeping the same group of students. Audience size is an average of 12 students. Shifts will be set up during orientation.

Although we are able to accommodate up to 7 students, only one student may be on duty per shift.

Description of duties:
This role primarily involves greeting clients who come in for movement/holistic exercise classes. Greeters should arrive 15 minutes before class begins and be at the desk at least 15 minutes into the class. During the evening shifts, a staff member is on duty to answer questions and help clients figure out their sliding fee scale payment and to take payments. During the morning, shift, the role of the service learning student greeter is to greet clients and answer basic questions, referring clients to the front desk to make payments. Specific responsibilities involve greeting clients warmly, being near the card swipe at desk, welcoming clients, remind them to swipe cards, and directing those who need to pay to staff members.

After the class begins, various roles and responsibilities may include office work, calling previous clients, assisting with children's activities, making ID cards and making client files. On slow days, volunteer greeters may be able to participate in movement classes. Spanish language skills are preferred but not required for this role for the evening shifts. Spanish speaking skills are required for morning shifts. Greeters must make a regular weekly commitment to a shift (example: if your service learning requirement is 10- 15 hours per semester, we ask that you work the same one hour shift for 10 - 15 weeks rather than having a varied schedule). A general orientation to CORE/El Centro will be conducted prior to service learners beginning. On the first shift, an orientation more specific to our movement studio will be conducted.

2. Children's Activities Assistant
Number of Placements:
Fall Semester: 5, Hours per week: 1
Spring Semester: 5, Hours per week: 1

Days/Times (including weekends):
Service Learners are expected to attend a general orientation and serve at least one shift (one class) per week for the duration of the semester commitment. We ask that you commit to one regular shift per week rather than having a varied schedule. Volunteers are needed the most on Mondays and Fridays from 5:30 - 6:30 but other evenings are an option as well.

Description of duties:
While parents are taking advantage of the evening movement classes, children can spend time at the Children's Activities space. Here, they are exposed to fun and healthy games while their parents are participating in exercise classes. Volunteers help support CORE/El Centro staff members in facilitating fun and healthy activities for the children. Although bi-lingual skills are not required, this is a good opportunity to practice Spanish language skills.

3. Interpreter for Acupuncture

Days/Times (including weekends):
Ideal shift times are as follows:

Thurs 9:00am - 11:00am, 11:00am - 1:00pm
Monday 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Description of duties: Service learners can be placed with CORE/El Centro's acupuncturist to interpret for clients. The schedule of the acupuncturist can vary slightly and not all clients in each shift are Spanish speaking. Therefore, it is asked that service learners be somewhat flexible and open to assisting, listening and utilizing their Spanish in other ways when they are not directly interpreting. Generally service learners will accompany the acupuncturist in their initial assessment of clients and at the end of a treatment. Some of the other ways students will have exposure to using Spanish include assisting with client appointment reminder phone calls, greeting, and observing general client/reception interaction. It is recommended that Service Learners are very confident with their Spanish skills in order to work with the acupuncturist and clients. A language assessment will be conducted prior to students interpreting. Students who are not ready to interpret will assist with the other areas listed above and may also be able to take client blood pressure. Students not only need to be comfortably bilingual but must also be bicultural, (i.e.- have some experience working with the Hispanic population). A pre-service orientation will be required.

4. Intercambio
Days/Times: first or 3rd Tuesday of the month 5:30 to 7:30

Student Role in Agency: Service Learners will participate in and assist with an Intercambio event at least one Tuesday each month allowing for the opportunity to spend time with native Spanish-speakers. Other weeks, Service Learners will attend CORE/El Centro movement classes, which are mostly facilitated or interpreted into Spanish, If a Service Learner's schedule permits, they will also assist with the children's activities during the adult movement classes, allowing the possibility to interact with Spanish speaking staff and Spanish speaking children.
