Organizing Internship

1 credits · Undergraduate credit

Students serve as "organizing interns" with a community organization for a minimum of 10 hours per week. They may accept one of the placements arranged by the instructor, or develop their own internship or project in close consultation with the instructor. Appropriate projects require mobilizing the participation of others to achieve measurable organizing outcomes by the end of the semester. This focus on community organizing distinguishes this course from most other service-learning courses on campus, which tend to focus on community service.
