The Community Change Pathway empowers students to cultivate a thoughtful, analytical grasp of the principles, frameworks, and competencies essential for driving transformation across varied communities. This encompasses exploring multiple methodologies for fostering change, such as grassroots organizing, neighborhood development, urban planning, policy advocacy at the community level, participatory education, along with the specific tactics and critical factors relevant to each approach. The pathway emphasizes examining community dynamics while addressing systemic power structures, privilege, marginalization, practical application, and equity within community transformation efforts. We strive to blend historical precedents with innovative methodologies, incorporating case studies and lived experiences from those actively involved in community initiatives. Our curriculum integrates Community and Social Services themes across all coursework.
