Reclaiming Neighborhoods

Catalog description

Taught by ABSW. This course will give the urban Minister or Pastor specific tools in addressing the challenges facing black and brown communities. Some of the issues covered in this course will include: drugs in black and brown communities, drug and gang violence, trauma as a result of violence, mentoring as a way of reaching our youth, and community organizing as a way of making effective change. Course requirements: Oral reports and one final paper (8-10 pages) on how you might apply what you have learned. Also, three hours of community involvement. Last time the class was taught, we did a night walk, but you may choose another community service.
