Activists Coming Together (ACT)

Description

ACT is a year-long program, facilitated by the Women's Center, that develops a select group of student participants as feminist activists and leaders.

Commitment

ACT is a one-year commitment, which includes:

  • Monthly discussion groups
    We will discuss readings, relevant current issues/topics, develop and practice our leadership and activism skills, and reflect on personal experiences in leadership and activism. 

  • Action project 
    Through the course of the program participants will either individually or in a group design, implement and disseminate an activist/advocacy project with the purpose of creating change in a particular setting/with a particular population.

  • Monthly activist lecture series
    (First Wednesday of October, November, December, February, March, and April from 12pm-1pm)
    Learn from activists in the campus and Cincinnati community working to make change in different issues.

  • Shared reflection upon completion of program
    Create and share some form of reflection that summarizes how this program has supported your growth as a feminist leader and activist.
