Our students work towards global and community change by collaborating with organizations and nonprofits, and it all starts with 30A. Open to all UCSC students, this also course fills a GE requirement (PE-T).
Through Fall Quarter, students will strengthen tech skills, community organizing knowledge, and apply theory to practice.
This course introduces processes of community-engaged research and organizational assessment.
Course at a Glance
Heads on Justice
Tuesday’s classes will focus on topics like global justice movements and social entrepreneurship. In our flipped classroom structure, lectures are watched before class in place of homework. Class time is reserved for discussing the material and collaborative activities
Hands on Tech
Thursday’s labs teach practical tech skills for working in solidarity with community organizations, ranging from film and graphic design to website creation. These classes will also feature guest speakers and a hands on learning approach.
Hearts on Change
Sections are led by Everett Fellows. Our curriculum builds on antiracist and emergent strategy literature to prepare students to sustainably and respectfully engage with communities, as well as navigate an extensive group project.
