Some of our previous projects include:
Multi-Cultural Dental Clinic: NWTC Dental Hygiene students provided dental health services to Hispanic families from the Green Bay area. Families were interviewed (an interpreter was present), their medical histories recorded, x-rays were taken, and cleanings were administered. Students also applied sealants to children's teeth, all at no charge to the families.
- Meditation Garden for Golden House: A Landscape and Horticulture Technician Student was selected to design a meditation garden for Golden House, a shelter for domestic violence victims. Once the design was completed students from East High School were asked to grow flats of annual plants. The Landscape and Horticulture Construction students built the garden and East High School students helped to plant the annuals they grew. The result was a peaceful and meditative area for Golden house residents to enjoy.
- Tutoring at St. Thomas More School: One student in a NWTC Written Communications course elected to participate as a Reading Buddy and Writing Tutor for students in the fifth and sixth grades at St, Thomas More. He assisted seven students in reading, writing, worksheets, study skills, and computer application every Friday afternoon for eight weeks. There was a noted improvement in the academic performances of the students.
- Bid for the Cure: Under the guidance of instructor Nancy Colden students planned, created, and promoted a fundraiser to support the Jerry Lintz Patient Support Services Fund at the Cancer Team Bellin Health. The fund assists in easing the financial burden of cancer patients at Bellin. Students organized a benefit dinner, silent raffle, and auction all in a time span of six weeks. The students raised over 15,000 dollars.
