Hillsborough Community College
Impact Project 2006-2008
Hillsborough Community College faculty and students partnered with six under-privileged schools in the Hillsborough County School District's Safe-T-Net after-school program to offer tutoring and other educational activities to at-risk children. HCC strengthened infrastructure on campus, including the addition of the service-learning designation in the course catalog and expanding courses offered on all four campuses.
