What kind of projects and groups can be involved in Slant 45?
A. Neighborhood groups, religious organizations, classrooms and school groups, PTAs, community-based organizations, Scouts, athletic teams and corporate affinity groups are encouraged to get involved! Projects are only limited by your child’s imagination … and can vary from neighborhood improvement to beautification, to documenting local history or culture through a photography exhibit, to focusing on real-life ways to address pressing social challenges like hunger, poverty or environmental issues. The goal of SLANT 45 is to provide kids with the opportunity to identify issues in their local community from their own perspective. An adult “coach” will utilize SLANT 45 “Playbooks” to facilitate children through the process of identifying and researching an issue and developing a project to help address the issue. Projects may range from a weekend or span several months. Each project team will decide the type of project, expenses involved (if any), project timeline and more.
