Interlocal is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for local high school students whose mission is to promote citizenship through international enrichment and civic engagement. Activities showcase community organizations as well as those in nearby cities in Ohio as examples of an increasingly globalized economy and world. The program consists of a variety of site visits, which are both place-based and experiential. Through these visits, Interlocal instills a sense of collective pride and ownership both of students’ community and home state, while simultaneously exposing them to new ideas with an international focus.
Interlocal’s program is unique and provides invaluable experiences which truly broaden the horizons of local high school students. The parent of a past participant indicated:
"We appreciated the variety of site visits. There were different nationalities introduced, cultures, and representations of various global and cultural needs."
Student outcomes include an understanding of their culture and community in a global context, and an appreciation for the work of nearby businesses and organizations. In the future, students will be able to apply knowledge gained through the Interlocal program in post-secondary studies, career and beyond.
