Homelessness Awareness – Participants will consider complex social issues contributing to homelessness in the United States and Greensboro through readings, speakers, films and discussion. Participants will tour and serve at area homeless shelters, work with street teams providing blankets, food and toiletries to area homeless,and take part in the annual Point in Time count of Homeless in Greensboro with the option to spend a night or two on the streets of Greensboro with area homeless.
Multicultural Greensboro – Greensboro is lucky to have several ethnic communities resettled here, including Chinese, Bosnian, Montagnard, Liberian, Mexican, Salvadoran and others. We will visit a few of these communities as well as listen to speakers, discuss readings and films and enjoy a variety of ethnic meals. Afternoons will be spent on a shared project with one of our committed service sites, Glen Haven Multicultural tutorial center or African Services Coalition.
Housing Greensboro – Participants will work with the nonprofit Housing Greensboro to provide simple home repair and winterizing services to low income owners unable to afford repairs due to illness, age or disability. We will consider housing issues in Greensboro through readings, speakers and films. Participants also receive introductory carpentry and repair training.
Underground Railroad – The roots of the Underground Railroad are believed to be firmly planted here in Guilford and conducted by Quakers and free Blacks who populated what is now the campus of Guilford College. Participants will consider the impact of the Underground Railroad and the abolitionist movement on our history with particular emphasis on Guilford County. We travel to Maysville, KY; Ripley, OH and the National Underground Railroad museum in Cincinnati to explore the rich UGRR history that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Each participant will help develop and participate in a re-enactment to illustrate how the Underground Railroad operated.
