Students in II330: A Just World were assigned to complete and report on projects that required fifteen hours in the field, and were addressed from sociological and educational perspectives. Three students focused their projects on community response to homelessness and housing struggles in Keene and the surrounding region, each working with a different organization. The projects, as a whole, aim to give insight into the current status of homelessness in Keene, highlight various resources for those struggling in the community, and discuss opportunities for volunteering and addressing the current crisis. Each of the three students was able to learn and grow through their experience with their organization: one participated in fundraising and client services for Hundred Nights, one conducted statistical analysis for The Greater Keene Homeless Coalition, and one worked with Habitat for Humanity through the on-campus club to raise funds and actually work on a “build”.
