Even though she has lived in Topeka her whole life, Dominique Becher didn t know a lot about the local nonprofits and community organizations helping families in extreme need.
But in taking a Washburn University sociology class focused on high-impact community engagement practices, Becher, and several other students like her, are getting first-hand experience in not only recognizing an issue in the community but working to bridge any needs from the issue.
Students in one of Sangyoub Park’s courses, Social Class in the U.S., will host the class’s third annual diaper drive for Community Action from March 15 to 28.
