Schreiber's program, "Seeds for Change" is the latest addition to his ongoing effort to engage students in deep and meaningful learning experiences through community projects that use powerful documentaries as a catalyst for social change. The goal of this program is twofold: 1) beautify the facilities of local charitable organizations with landscaping plants raised at Frontier Academy and 2) create a powerful documentary film of all stages of the project. Approximately 85 ninth-grade students and 20 members of Schreiber's Documentary for a Difference (D4D) class will learn the value of community service in a real, hands-on way. While doing so, students will film interviews of participants, fellow students, staff and community members to help show the powerful impact that service work can have on the life of a community. Schreiber lives in Ft. Collins.
