Description

Students are often insulated in on campus spaces and don't know the communities they are serving in well. This can lead to deficit views of communities they serve, or extractive/performative service that does not take into consideration the history, policies and people in communities where service happens. This session looks at one model of intensive place based training for students prior to service to address these issues. Participants will experience a slice of training and will take home a guide to plan their own place based service training.
