by Brandon Hill, for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship (HSSJ 1177)
This presentation serves as an overview of our group's work with DC Action for Children as part of our HSSJ 1177 course. Our project relied on coalition building as we surveyed, organized, and mapped, out-of-school time programs in DC to allow for greater advocacy during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
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.
