The SDGs and Asset Based Community Organizing with Civic Georgia (in-person event)

Join the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact and Serve-Learn-Sustain for a community workshop on the SDGs and ABCD led by CivicGeorgia.

CivicGeorgia is a BIPOC-led advocacy organization striving to amplify the voice, frequency, and impact of community-led efforts for progress.

This workshop is part of the Ideas to Serve weekly series and part of the UGC’s SDG Week Events line-up.

More about I2S:

We take a comprehensive approach to social innovation encouraging students to be compassionate listeners; identify and build on the assets of communities; research the solution landscape to learn from both what works and what failed; take a systems approach to identify the root cause versus the symptoms of the issue.

Students who aspire to work closely with and learn from a community partner/civic entrepreneur, those who want to affect change in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), and those who are wondering how they can make a real, lasting, and appropriate difference in other people’s lives are ideal candidates for I2S.

In the 2022 season, student teams will learn from and work with our Atlanta area community partners and civic entrepreneurs.

The deliverable for I2S is a Stakeholder Map of the social issue student teams explore with their community partner’s guidance. The I2S Showcase will take place on April 18 where teams will present the outcome of their work to an audience of practitioners, community leaders, faculty, and students.
