During ASB, participants explore the systemic and human dimensions of complex social issues in Baltimore, spending most of the week in small groups focusing on a specific issue or challenge. ASB groups work with community partners, elected officials, and scholars, in part to help participants identify their own pathways to long-term community engagement. ASB 2024 will take place during the week of UMBC’s Spring Break: March 17 - 24, 2024.<br><br>ASB 2024 will be developed by a team of undergraduate student leaders organized and trained by Center for Democracy and Civic Life staff during weekly meetings in the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters. Together, the leaders will develop plans for a holistic, empowering ASB experience for participants. ASB leaders will work in pairs to develop small group experiences exploring social issues in Baltimore. Past ASB groups have explored challenges and solutions relating to equitable access to housing, nutritious food, and health care; disability justice; support for youth impacted by intimate partner violence; and a variety of other issues. Leaders can develop an experience relating to one of these topics, or to a new topic they propose.<br><br>The overall time commitment for ASB leaders is approximately 100 hours over the course of the fall 2023 semester (2 hour weekly meetings, plus participation in additional programs), the winter 2024 term (roughly 4 - 6 hours each week), and the spring 2024 semester (2 hour weekly meetings until Spring Break, plus participation in additional programs; all day during the week of Spring Break). For specific meeting and program dates, see the application form.<br><br>ASB leaders receive a $1,000 stipend and a zero credit practicum notification (PRAC 121-03) on their transcripts for winter and spring 2024.<br><br>All undergraduate students are invited to apply. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in ASB.<br><br><br><strong>ConnectionCorps facilitators<br></strong><br>ConnectionCorps is an initiative through which undergraduate UMBC students learn to foster democratic participation and authentic connection among participants in the Center for Democracy and Civic Life’s <a href="https://civiclife.umbc.edu/learning-engagement/workshops/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">workshops</a> and programs (e.g., <a href="https://civiclife.umbc.edu/learning-engagement/community-events/change-makers-dinners/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Change Makers Dinners</a>, <a href="https://civiclife.umbc.edu/learning-engagement/community-events/changing-maryland/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Changing Maryland</a>, and <a href="https://civiclife.umbc.edu/learning-engagement/community-events/dinners-with-friends/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dinners with Friends</a>).

STRiVE helps inspire and support students in becoming more effective leaders and contributors to their communities, especially the UMBC community. STRiVE participants develop friendships; discover their strengths and values; learn how to work more effectively in groups; envision contributions they could make at UMBC; engage issues relating to identity, privilege, and systemic oppression; and tackle both simulated and real leadership and social change challenges. STRiVE 2024 will take place from January 8 - 12, 2024.<br><br>STRiVE 2024 will be facilitated by a team of staff and undergraduate student coaches organized and trained by Center for Democracy and Civic Life staff during weekly meetings in the fall 2023 semester.

<Title>Join our community of Radical Love &amp; Belonging</Title>
<Tagline>UMBC Giving Day 2023</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Dear friends of i3b (old, new, and soon-to-be!),<div><br></div>
    <div>It's giving day at UMBC! What can we do in 36 hours? Contribute to #umbc #BlackAndGoldRush and see what's possible when we work together. This Giving Day we invite you to <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BYasm3uTVU1KJC8TeanlRfgN5srAWiau/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">join our community of radical love and belonging</a> by <a href="https://bit.ly/umbci3b23" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">giving to the i3b fund this Giving Day</a>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>When you give to i3b, you support students finding belonging in identity-based spaces across campus, like <strong>The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity, The Pride Center, and the Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being</strong>. Your gift also funds programs that help students develop skills needed to dialogue across difference and become more equitable and inclusive community leaders.</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Support initiatives like the Interact Dialogues Program, Your Story Belongs Here theater collaboration and annual graduation celebrations like the Lavender Graduation &amp; Scholarship and the Black &amp; Latin/e/x Graduation Celebration</li>
    <li>Support the expansion of religious and spiritual student resources and programming</li>
    <li>Support LGBTQ outreach programming and Pride Center beautification by giving to the LGBTQ Outreach fund</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>

    <span>A contribution of any amount will make a significant difference. </span><span><span>bell hooks told us, <strong>“</strong></span><span><strong>Without love, our efforts to liberate ourselves and our world community from oppression and exploitation are doomed.</strong></span><span><strong>”</strong> This thinking grounds our community and our commitment in radical love and belonging. </span><span>Whether you decide to give today or not, we hope we can now consider you friends of i3b…. Friends </span><span>who will join us as we strive to co-create a more socially just world.</span></span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>Please also consider supporting other programs and initiatives in UMBC's Division of Student Affairs that help students to get involved, develop leadership skills, build thriving relationships and communities, and access support in challenging times. See </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/vpsa/posts/131267" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this post</a><span> for a list of these initiatives.
