TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES
Our curriculum is both embedded with and supported by transformational experiences that build emotional intelligence, social capital and overall empathy for communities and causes that need attention. These skills are assets to self-development, collaboration and building strong community partnerships.
Building from the Inside Out
Following a "ME, WE ALL" formula, the SAA prioritizes the interdependency of individual, collective, and community development. In every initiative within our program, we aim to build stronger communities on the foundation of stronger selves and effective, inspired teamwork. In addition to the experiences below, Social Action Alliance members will devote time and energy to serving the needs of their communities.
Social Action Incubator
The fundamental transformative experience of the Social Action Alliance is the Social Action Incubator. This annual retreat presents a unique opportunity for each cohort of students, from all campuses, to come together in person and learn the core principles of our program while getting to know each other.
Internships
Relevant field experience is an invaluable complement to academics. What's more, being compensated lessens the burden of choosing between access to opportunity and fulfilling financial obligations. Built on college-to-career competencies, our internship initiative aims to provide engaging internships that pay SAA members for the hard work of doing good.
Events & Workshops
Our program emphasizes the importance of practice-based learning, even in our extra-curriculars. In addition to coursework and internships, SAA will host regular events and workshops that foster self-reflection development, collaboration skills and general exposure to cross-sector organizations and the people who run them.
Giving is at the core of all social action.
Because we understand the financial challenges many students face, the SAA will give scholarships of up to $500. As this program grows, we hope our opportunities to give more grows, as well.
