FOSTER

FOSTER is an intensive experience exploring urban systems and asset-based community development. During this three-day early-immersion program, first-year students will explore the complexity and rich history of the Baltimore City School System and several urban neighborhoods in Central Baltimore, and engage in facilitated dialogues surrounding issues of diversity, power, oppression, and privilege with fellow classmates, peer leaders, Goucher College faculty, and civic professionals working in schools and non-profit organizations throughout Baltimore. Through guided walking tours of Baltimore City, opportunities to observe in Baltimore City classrooms, and group discussions, students will find opportunities to further their understanding of urban systems, diversity, and social justice. Cost of the program is $75 with room for 10 students.
