After receiving training in podcast development, students will interview their peers and other community members to explore the impact that the public health crisis and the movement for racial justice have had on our community. In the process of carrying out this service learning project they will intentionally focus on strengthening SEL skills as they develop and share their podcasts with the community at large. The grant will also fund materials for the class and field trips to service learning sites.</span></p>A true copy:
