by Briana Anderson and Chava Kornblatt for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship (HSSJ 1177)
This presentation was selected as a Fall 2020 Nashman Center Exemplar.
Pathways to Housing DC is a non-profit that works to alleviate homelessness by providing immediate housing and a support team to people experiencing homelessness. Our team conducted interviews with program participants (which Pathways calls client) and worked to tell their stories and messages in ways that would be accessible to the general public. Symposium Theme: Challenging assumptions and unconscious biases.
This project was part of Dr. Gretchen Van der Veer’s HSSJ 1177: Organizing Social Justice and Human Services. Students in this course learn theories of community organizing and social justice while engaging in service-learning with DC-based advocacy and action organizations.
