About
Public discourse is teeming with advice about leadership, opinions about what citizenship is, and what service in the community should look like. Effectiveness as a citizen leader requires a more complex understanding of each of these constructs and their implications. In this course, we will explore several ways that leadership, citizenship, and service have been framed by scholars. Ultimately, you will arrive at your own informed and well-considered philosophy, which will guide you as a student leader at GW and a citizen-leader in the world.
This is a community-engaged scholarship course, and includes 30 hours of service with a local community organization addressing issues of poverty, affordable housing, food security, or youth development. This course is restricted to GW students in the Civic House Scholars Program.

I had someone present to me on the organization from life pieces to masterpieces. She was very knowledgeable being that she has been serving for over a year and a half. She explained how the organization often faced bankruptcy because of lack of funding, but often used the art created by students to fund the program. She explained many different statistics including that around 40% of African American students at this school graduated because of lack of funding. She also displayed the art and gave us the resources to support this organization. She was very smart and clearly passionate about her topic.
