The acec galvanized the greater gainesville community specifically to counteract the negative impact of covid-19 on college enrollment by addressing the decrease in completed fafsas among 2020 and 2021 high school graduates.”

“Rethink service: the greater gainesville chamber and lyfehouse, inc. Partnered to create the 12-week rethink service fellowship program to engage at-risk high school students. The rethink curriculum allows high schoolers to research and implement a service project of their choosing while incorporating the youth service of america service project toolkit, the john maxwell leadership curriculum, and u.c.l.a.'s social change leadership framework to develop the student's leadership capacity and empower them to be community change agents. Rethink's program is divided into three 4-week modules that provide classroom lessons, multiple assessments (both self- and community-needs) and a reporting element (vlog entries). University students serve as mentors and community business leaders provide real-world guidance. Student service projects have tackled mental health, lgbtq+, body positivity, foster care, juvenile detention, abandoned pets and food insecurity.”
