First meeting!

2016 Alternative Spring Break

Marginalized Populations and Inclusion

We'll be heading to. . .
 
We have a great team of interested, dedicated, and intelligent (they guessed the location in 10 seconds even with all the letters jumbled up) Vols looking to journey down to Jackson, Mississippi, to serve marginalized populations!
In the first meeting, we introduced ourselves, and we talked about what this theme means to us and how this theme truly encompasses so many different populations groups. We introduced the organizations that we will be working with and some of the work that we will be doing!
