What to do first ‘Voices of my community’ exercise to get to know your community – Go off campus and have conversations with community members

Consider the following Geography: Is there a neighborhood close to campus that is underserved by local providers? What does it look like and what are its main challenges? Are there central places where I can go to speak to local community members? Demographics: Where is there a potential match between their cultural characteristics (ie, low income Hispanic microbusinesses) and our capacities? Psychographics: What are the attitudes, values, challenges, and preferences of community members?
