Scenario: The Community Meal
Two Sundays a month, you volunteer at a local homeless shelter. You help prepare and serve a meal to the homeless. Not only is the group of volunteers diverse, so, too are the homeless seeking refuge. The community meal offers a time to enjoy good hot food and fellowship. The shelter also helps connect the homeless to various resources, including health screenings, treatment for physical and mental ailments, and job training opportunities. You note this is a great example of diverse individuals and groups working together to help those in need.
How can you apply to your life what you have learned in this course? What strategies will you implement to reduce the negative aspects of the diversity issues we have studied? In this final week, consider these questions as you reflect on what you have learned in the course and what steps you can take to apply this knowledge in your personal and professional life.
