SBS-HC207 Big Brother, Big Sister - a Future of Boston
As the Boston Foundation's Boston Indicator Project states "Children mirror a community's values, progress, and challenges. If a community's children are thriving, it is likely that the whole community is doing well." This course will examine many of the social issues impacting the life of youth in the City of Boston. The course will explore topics ranging from healthcare, education, poverty, housing, crime and many more. As part of this service-learning course, students enrolled will be continuing their hours of service with Big Brother, Big Sister of MA Bay, and reflect on how their work is benefiting the community through the lens of social justice and the topics described above. This course will satisfy the Local Engagement requirement.
