The CARE (Caring About Relationships and Education) House is one of Heidelberg’s Cooperative Learning Communities (CLCs); the CLCs are student-developed, service learning projects in which members live in College-owned homes.
Four Early Childhood Education/Intervention majors and one Biology major live in the CARE House; these residents are working with the Education Department and sponsoring agency The North Central Ohio Educational Service Center to accomplish the following goals:

• To provide opportunities for prospective students to have overnight campus visits to ask questions of current students, particularly Education majors;
• To volunteer monthly at area schools and education programs;
• To provide volunteer opportunities for the campus community that will benefit area schools and education programs;
• To invite children and community school representatives to participate in on-campus activities; and
• To sponsor an on-campus “Operation Christmas” project that will allow students and faculty to provide for needy children in Africa.

CARE House projects already completed or planned include co-sponsoring the Christi Thomas Memorial Lemonade Stand, providing childcare for an alumni event, organizing a story hour, and hosting an Education Department luncheon.
