Sangeeta Prasad's course on human development through the Human Services and Social Justice program has engaged GW students in meaningful work with the local community for several years. A recent Washington Post article noted the students' recent service experiences helping local residents navigate mental health systems. The students' efforts served to demonstrate just how difficult this can be.
Prasad is a co-founder of In the Streets, an organization whose aim is "building meaningful livelihoods and disrupting generational trauma in the streets of Columbia Heights by supporting, training, mentoring and hiring community members."
