The City of La Grande Parks and Recreation invites Eastern students to participating in the annual Arts for All Celebration, a two-day event that invites young people their artistic side through all kinds of art medium! Students volunteers will be needed for the day of the event as well—April 20th and 21st!

The Parks Department is also looking for students interested in helping with the annual community tree planting—April 28th and May 5th. Work with the city’s Tree Care Educator on the planning of this wonderful community activity!

Union County Alternative Education Program

The Union County Alternative Education Program exists for all Union County High Schools as an Alternative educational setting. EOU Student volunteers would be greatly appreciated to supplement the curriculum at a school where resources are scarce, and organizers are willing to think outside the box.

An EOU student could earn his or her Cornerstones of Learning credit by volunteering through creating classes from various disciplines including: literature, language, history, art, music, science or drama. Also, students are encouraged to bring classes to campus or assist high school students with the transition from high school to post-secondary education.

For more information please contact the Cornerstones of Learning at 962-3308 or corner@eou.edu

The Cove Community School has operated with the help from a grant from the Ford Family Foundation and is now becoming a self-sufficient program that provides Cove with continuing education programs for Adults, after-school programs for children, Mano-a-Mano (a seasonal program that provides a mobile dental clinic for migrant cherry pickers in July), community art experience and various services for senior citizens.

The Cove Community School invites EOU students to participate with their school in many ways, be it offering classes such as Spanish language, arts and crafts, dance for adults, facilitate after-school activities, or inviting community members to campus for an Intact Class.

There is also a high demand for students with knowledge of web design, digital photo editing and digital video editing to offer a class either at the University or out in Cove.

Please contact the Cornerstones ofLearning at 962-3308 or corner@eou.edu for more information on how this completes one of your Cornerstones of Learning Credits.
