The ethnographic portion of the program allows us to visualize an entire community and the core of their function. It is teaching me to view things from a perspective that not everyone has naturally or is even aware of. I would highly recommend anyone that is passionate about direct community work to apply for this program. Oftentimes, volunteer work requires the volunteers to be privileged enough to give up their time for free. This program allows anyone interested in valuable community outreach to receive benefits essential to their education and still pursue these passions.
