Community-based Learning
The Program on Justice and Peace is committed to pedagogies of engagement that can augment the quality of the transdisciplinary classroom study of social justice, and thus deepen students' commitments to it. One of those pedagogies is community-based learning (CBL). Through CBL opportunities, students work in and with the community as part of an academic course in order to further their understanding of the course material and the intellectual methods of the field while meeting community-defined needs.
CBL is offered as a track in JUPS 123: Introduction to Justice and Peace. Students work with and for the following community partners through JUPS 123.
After School Kids Program (ASK)
DC Reads
DC Schools Project
LIFT DC
Little Friends for Peace
