COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students in this capstone will partner with urban Indigenous communities in Portland to support the self-determination of Indigenous peoples by writing grants. For this term, we we are going to work with the Future Generations Collaborative (FGC) who support healthy pregnancies and Native families by providing culturally-specific interventions, advocacy, and education about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). This community-based service-learning class offers step-by-step guidance on how to write a grant proposal which will match the partner’s goal.  All through this process, students will learn the current cultural and sustainability issues within the partner community and beyond.  General class instruction is exclusively online, although there are a couple of hands-on service-learning components available as one of class assignment options (but not required). Students in this capstone are strongly encouraged, as a class goal, to create and participate in a healthy online community and active group work - also online.  If you have any question or request a class syllabus, please send it to Nariyo Kono (nariyo@pdx.edu) by email.
