BreakingGround Grant Information Session

Hosted by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life 

The BreakingGround initiative awards grants of up to $2,500.00 to UMBC faculty, staff, and students to implement educational and community-building courses and programs that foster civic agency: the capacity to initiate and make meaningful contributions to social change.

In this virtual information session, we will review the program and answer your questions. To register for this session, go to the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's event here. 

The options for using these funds are flexible, but some ideas include: experiential learning opportunities for students, student and community-engaged research projects, time to design deep transformations of existing curricula to be oriented toward civic agency, and resources for engagement with social changemakers and local communities. For a list of previous awardees, see here.
