Interest

I teach a justice studies course with a community engagement element. The social action model seems like a good fit for it.

Experience

Not exactly. My students research a social justice issue and connect with an organization or project in the local community connected to that issue. They do a variety of different things depending on their chosen topic, and some of the work they do might be considered a campaign, but most are doing other things, dependent on the needs fo their community partners.

Engagement Description

The course looks at affordable housing, gentrification, the opioid crisis, and more. Many students choose to focus on housing in some form or another.

How did you hear about opportunity

I've participated in some of the virtual meet-ups. I think I first learned of the organization through Notre Dame.
