In this course, students will become familiar with American policy history, the history of nonprofits, and urban history. This course will build the skill of identifying salient and relevant characteristics of the communities they seek to engage and serve. Finally, students will develop a profile of a policy, nonprofit, community, or issue of their choosing.
