Homeless In Boise, Henderson
Homeless In Boise, Henderson
Service-Learning Program
Corpus Christi House offers hospitality and every day necessities to the homeless within the city of Boise. Through my SL experience with CCH I have gained new perspectives on homelessness through generosity, acceptance and trust. I have met some truly amazing individuals who strive to “stay strong.” Understanding and acceptance are key to success at CCH, as they help to lessen the gap between social exclusion and social acceptance. The environment provided by CCH enables the homeless to break down those barriers, create meaningful relationships and trust those around them. CCH is the true meaning of acceptance, compassion and altruism.

We found that participants were in favor of after-school programs and we also found that they think after-school programs were beneficial. Even though we didn’t specifically ask the participant “what part of development do you think after-school programs benefit a child or adolescent,” we think it is safe to infer that the participants view after-school programs and/or activities as beneficial to development in general. Future research is still needed to evaluate future improvements that can be made in after-school programs.
