Talk about a community organization: For this assignment, choose one local community organization that is dedicated to some social, cultural or artistic purpose that addresses at least one of the social inequalities explained in our course materials.
Some basic organization types to think about might include ones that were founded to address:
art/environment exposure to various populations
battered families
educational attainment
ethnic empowerment
foster care
gender empowerment
homelessness
immigrant & refugee transition
LGBT support
medical/surgery assistance
small business backing
workers rights
Please do not choose an organization that you are already involved in, as your previous engagement with the organization may constrict the capacity to learn and to critically asses the organization.
_______________________________________________________
Through the organization’s own material, what others may have written about it, and if possible, your own interviews with members of the organization, prepare a report which describes:
The report should discuss but not be limited to the following:
Intro:
the name of the organization,
description of the organization: its sources of funding, its organizational structure, whether it is a profit or nonprofit group, its history
Thesis (KEY!):
the explanation of SOC 350-related social issue(s) that the organization addresses
“Angles” (aka body paragraphs)
the types of activities it supports,
who the organization serves and whether the population that is recipient to the services are involved in leadership and decision making of the organization
how the organization works to contest and/or ameliorate the consequences of inequality.
Conclusion:
stated purpose of the organization and your assessment of how well the organization meets the purpose
The most important part of the assignment is its analytic focus, i.e., discuss how the purpose, function, or other aspects of this organization reflect the major themes or ideas about cultural diversity and inequality that we are studying in this class.
Be specific.

The Community Report is intended to be an integrative essay; you should demonstrate that you are able to discuss the various concepts covered in SOC 350 in an informed academic fashion. Students are are expected to connect a wide range of various SOC 350 sources across different themes and units (particularly the readings from Unit 4), with your own outside research.
Use of sources: Please use a wide range of research from SOC 350 and outside = there should be at least 2-3 different SOC 350-related sources per angle.
This means a cohesive mix of text, web source, and the outside sources you examine, such as the organization’s web site, its partner links, media articles, press releases, and other scholarly journal or book articles on your organization’s focus.
Critical Analysis: Do not merely copy+paste quotes from materials into your Report.
Instead, synthesize and interpret the information in your own words, using properly cited resources that you build upon with your analysis. Be sure to cite the source of all information that is not common knowledge.
Again, do not import materials directly from the organizations materials (copy+paste), but rather, apply SOC 350 course ideas and information, describe and analyze, and explain your findings in your original writing.
