Course title: EDUC 421: STUDIO(Practicum in Community Service Activity) (SLN 22195, 22196).
STUDIO is an exciting opportunity to get involved in high point community (in West Seattle) by working with middle and high school youths in after-school program. It counts as VLPA or I&S credits as well. Our vision is to increase diversity and work toward educational equity in out of school programs by creating a community of learners where everyone's knowledge and skills are valued and incorporated into how we learn.
If you join us, you will adapt a role of mentor to middle and high school students. Past undergrads have said that it was one of the best experiences that they had in UW, because they felt a sense of belongingness learning together with youths and other undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds. I attached our most recent video featuring youth, community-based organization staff, and undergrads. Please see Registration information on the flyer attached.
