Reflection: Civic Engagement
Write a journal-style reflection connecting your internship experiences to broader social issues. Why is there a need for your organization to exist, and for your specific project to happen? What are the multiple causes of the issues you’re addressing? Is your organization addressing one or many causes, and why are they focused on the causes and solutions they are? How do you see strategies from Getting to Maybe being enacted? Or, which strategies do you think should the organization enact, and why? After unpacking the issues and your organization’s response, explain how this month has shaped your interest in future civic involvement, either as a volunteer, political advocate, or as a career. Post this to Moodle under the designated thread.
Then, read and comment on at least two other posts. In what way does each post help you understand social issues and ways of enacting change?
