Service Learning Project

The Boston Harbor Association is the leading non-profit, public interest organization working to promote a clean, alive and accessible Boston Harbor, and is committed to providing free programming for the general public and students to learn about Boston Harbor and the waterfront.  http://tbha.org/index.htm 


On the BHA's official website, there are many activities and events that they promote which support the cleanup and reinvention of the harbor.  (http://tbha.org/events.htm)  Some of these events, like the one I mentioned previously in my blog, Stewardship Saturdays, involve volunteers actually cleaning the beaches near the harbor on the waterfront.  Other activities include informational tours along the harbor as well as presentations and lunches.


The BHA also promotes activities that they do not necessarily host, however are located near the harbor, on the Waterfront.  These specific activities are listed on their website, because any positive experience near the harbor is a step in the right direction for the intended change we hope the harbor to make.


The activity that I have chosen to do as my service learning project is the "Free Thursday nights at the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art)".  
For those of you who may not be familiar with the ICA, it is the newest museum to be built in the city of Boston and it's home to many innovative and contemporary artful pieces from around the world.  I am excited to go, as it will be a great experience as well as help support the tourism near the harbor.
