The University of Wisconsin Parkside's Year for Action was a federally funded program, which began in July of 1976 and continued until August of 1977. Parkside received a federal grant from the ACTION agency, which handled domestic volunteer programs. The objectives were to alleviate conditions of poverty utilizing University resources and to assist in developing, expanding, and institutionalizing the experiential learning model advocated by the University Year for Action program. Parkside's Year for Action was designed for students to work for community agencies while at the same time earning thirty college credits a year.
