Community Togetherness Course
In this course, we will use reflective writing prompts to explore what it means to be in community. Mentees and mentors will consider the importance of togetherness, examine how individual actions affect group dynamics, and explore strategies for building stronger, more connected communities.
Community Togetherness Mentoring
Mentees and mentors in the Community Togetherness Journey will be matched for one cycle. Pairs will meet for at least two sessions each month. Each session should be at least one hour long.
Community Togetherness Experiences
Mentees and mentors in the Community Togetherness Journey must attend at least one Community Experience of their choice per month. It is strongly recommended that they attend Exploratory Community Studios, College & Career Chats, and Salon Experiences.
