| Description | The field of social service work recognizes that private troubles are, in fact, public issues. Community organizing is the theory and practice of organizing people around the public issues in their lives with the goal of creating social change, and is a critical component of social service work practice. In this course, we will examine the theoretical and practical aspects of community organising. Students will work in groups to plan, implement and present a new community program that promotes equality and social justice using community organising theory and skills. Course Learning Outcomes:
