ESLARP in Action

The East St. Louis Action Research Project is a community assistance and development project guided by action research, service learning, and neighborhood partnerships. Faculty and students from several campus units collaborate with each other and East St. Louis neighborhood groups on highly tangible and visible projects that address the immediate and long-term needs of some of the city's most distressed communities. These are some of the projects we are engaged in right now.

September Outreach Weekend

Over 100 volunteers helped kick off another great school year for ESLARP in East St. Louis. Classes in Library Information Sciences, Recreation Sport and Tourism, Landscape Architecture, and Fine and Applied Arts worked in several different neighborhoods September 26-27. The weather was on our side and helped make sure volunteers completed their goals for the weekend. See the following posts to read more about specific projects worked on by students, faculty, and community members.
