The Student Leadership in Service Learning Program (sl2) is a peer leadership program with the goal of providing transformative service learning experiences. These leaders are selected for their passion about social justice, their leadership skills, and their connection to the community. Serving as liaisons between the students, faculty, and community partners, the student leaders make social justice oriented service a reality.
