by Abby Schrupp and Markella Lanara, for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship.
This presentation is providing insight on our experiences volunteering with the Free Minds Program. Symposium Theme: Building authentic relationships in this unique time.
This project was part of Abbie Weiner’s course, COMM 1041: Interpersonal Communication. Students in this course learn the theories and principles of interpersonal communication while engaging in service-learning with local after-school programs, job training programs, and other service organizations.

These are some of my favorite volunteer opportunities! When you come out as changed as the people you work with, you must be doing something right. Thank you for helping to give people some of their autonomy back as well as a chance for positive feedback and expression when they might not have had that chance before. I will definitely be looking into this organization.
