The deadline for applications for this year's Kathryn Davis Projects for Peace is Thursday, January 23. Read more about the program as well as last year's winning U-M project: Playwriting for Peace in Kosovo.
I’ve always been passionate about social justice work. While volunteering with America Reads, I learned about more ways in which the Ginsberg Center connects people to community organizations.
Not only does the Ginsberg Center prioritize the goals of communities, but it also invests in student leadership. Serving on the Student Advisory Board has allowed me to be on the receiving end of this leadership development, supporting my various personal and student organization initiatives.
A matchmaking mechanism identifying connections between U-M resources and community needs gets funding from a like-minded organization to maximize local impact.
"When I started working at the Ginsberg Center in September 2017, I realized I was now a part of a community of people who approached community engagement from a much broader perspective than I had been able to wrap my head around. I was working with an interdisciplinary team of students who had all experienced community engagement in a different context."
