Communicating Common Ground and Strategic Life Planning

Description: 

The project will be split into two academic service-learning courses and two community partners.

The first part of the project involves a communication course in Organizational Communications and the partner will be Feed My Sheep Ministries, a new service-learning partner for Mount Union College. Mount students will create an organization that will assess and help meet the needs of youth "clients" at the Feed My Sheep community dinners. With the help of the Mount students the youth will develop a strategic plan for their lives and their futures. The second course will involve another communication course, Interpersonal Communication. This project will partner with The Alliance Neighborhood Center's after school program, The Appleseed Project. Mount students will work with 5th graders in order to identify perceptions of diversity and to develop programming to empower children in thinking about diversity in a positive, enriching and powerful way. Together the Mount and Appleseed students will develop a video and discussion guide that will address issues of diversity in the Alliance City School system.
