Loyola volunteers tutor student athletes in academic subjects and assist in ACT/SAT preparation sessions through the ELEVATE program. As part of the program, Loyola students also assist in the development of student athletes on the court with basketball skill development and conditioning training for some of New Orleans' best junior high and high school basketball players.
The mission of the Elevate program is to improve the lives of inner-city youth through mentor-based programs in athletics, academics, fitness and social development. The program's aim is to close the achievement gap by ensuring that these teens have access to afterschool and summer developmental programs free of charge.
Our CBR project provides small business grants to disabled people who want to start their own businesses. Sewing is a popular choice of business and so many small grants are used to purchase sewing machines. Follow-up visits assess the progress of the business and provide further support if needed.
Those footballs are large and heavy when you are just a little person. Catching is a scary experience, a skill to be learned. The most important thing is that he caught it! And now I have the proof. Small steps!

Blended Learning Symposium Breakfast
Neil Headman asks a question of Charles Graham about the clinical aspects of Blended Learning.
We are navigating through uncharted waters with this new way of learning Math. Math U See is a slower paced yet (for us) a more logical way of learning Math concepts. It's also great for kinesthetic (touch and feel) and visual learners since it involves the senses in the learning process.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of our collective future is our youth. The young people in this painting were part of the forestry class at Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury in 2009. From left to right they are Amber Blodgette, Patrick McCarthy, Anthony Porter, Aaron Paquette and teacher John Bradley. These students are avid outdoors people with their own innate and learned skills. They are aware that the forest is as much the spaces between the trees as it is the trees themselves.
Tom Bachand’s saw sits in the foreground of this painting. He says “I’m an avid hunter. I enjoy being in the woods. I have since I was little. That’s why I joined Forestry, because I don’t like being in a classroom a lot, so we’re outside most the time. It’s what I like doing. I’m actually joining the marines and when I come out I would actually like to join my uncle’s logging operation. He only does selective cutting.”
Patrick McCarthy: “One of the main parts is I knew they did heavy equipment operation and I’ve always wanted to do that, but I didn’t really have a way to practice that or try it so I joined this program to operate heavy equipment. It’s been good. One main part that I like the most is being outside most the day and it’s more of a real job so it gets you prepared for the work world.”
“One of the most interesting things I’ve learned is pretty much most of the aspects of sugaring. That was pretty new. First time I saw an arch I didn’t know what all this stuff was…I learned a lot with that. Just being outdoors. The fresh air. My own future I would want my own land to have my own sugarbush, so just a lot of land with lots of maple trees and maybe have a firewood business. Operating heavy equipment, just having sugaring on the side like some people do.”
Aaron Paquette: “My dad and his brother they used to go out all the time and his brother almost cut his leg off. My dad just ended up staying away from it. And I’ve always wanted to get into it but he’s never had anything available for me to start. I started going out with my uncle and I enjoyed it a lot just cutting trees for his firewood and making a little side money, so, that’s why I got into the program.”
“In this program I mean there’s just so much freedom, the teachers are awesome, they really letcha get out and do the work. You definitely get to know the chainsaw and get to know the tree. I like to use the chainsaw. It feels good in the hands. Just being out in the woods. I mean I love to hunt, I love to fish. I’m an outdoorsman.”
“I hope that a lot of forests stay around. I just want to see it all kept pretty well, but still something everyone can make money off from. Sustainable harvest.”
“I like logging and I want to use it as just a side operation. I’m trying to get into something in landscaping for a couple years which will also include using a chainsaw, and later I’d like to go to school to be a landscape architect. I just hope that it stays around and there will always be that option for the younger people.”
Stephen Volk: “…my uncle’s a logger. I’ve helped him out a bunch of times and I wanted to get to know more about it and learn the safe way of doing things. Best thing I’ve learned is how to sharpen a chainsaw the right way. I want to become a diesel mechanic for forestry equipment. I just want to get into diesel.”
“I hope it gets logged, but I hope it gets managed right. That it doesn’t get clear cut. I mean, that’s a big part of Vermont, forests and mountains. It should be more strict than what it is. You gotta think about wildlife and their habitat. I like hunting, logging, just nature. I like the sugar maple…that’d be my favorite tree.”
Currently the average age of a Vermont logger is between fifty and sixty years. If we expect to have people to work in our forest in the coming years, what do we need to do to make this a livable profession for young people who really want to do this work?
