            A Shawnee State University education class visited the Ohio Youth Service (OYS) center in Franklin Furnace on April 14. OYS is one of SSU’s education program service learning sites. Students are required to spend 20 hours at their chosen site as part of the course requirement. This visit was a wrap-up activity for the class as they decided to have a group meeting to share their service learning face to face with the youth and open it to all of the other students enrolled in the class.
