Are you passionate about social justice, advocacy, or service and trying to determine your next steps at UM or beyond? Interested in pursuing a career that allows you to enact positive social change? Join us for our Learning in Community workshop focused on “Pathways.”

“The Pathways to Civic Engagement and Community Change” is a framework that describes a range of possibilities by which you can exercise your own power to create a better world, including direct service, community organizing, policy-making, community-engaged research, social entrepreneurialism, and philanthropy. These pathways intersect and overlap, demonstrating the interdependent nature of working toward the common good. At the end of this workshop you’ll be better able to assess what kinds of opportunities are the best match with your personality, talents, and passions. Whether you are considering what extracurriculars to get involved with, or making choices about graduate school and careers, the Pathways workshop can help guide you the next steps in your social justice journey.
