Georgia Tech is proud to participate in the 2012-2013 President's Interfaith & Community Service Campus Challenge, a national initiative sponsored by the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. The goals of the Campus Challenge are to bring together people of diverse religious and non-religious backgrounds to serve together on projects that strengthen their communities and to unite people of diverse backgrounds in order to promote tolerance and greater understanding. The Challenge promotes community service as an avenue to build this tolerance and to improve our shared communities.
Every campus that participates in the Challenge commits to a focus area, and Georgia Tech's focus will be the issue of Human Trafficking. We have made this choice based on our location in Atlanta and the fact that Human Trafficking is very present in our city. In addition, there are several initiatives, organizations, and individuals who are already engaged in this topic, which may provide opportunities for partnership and growth.
If you are interested in learning more about this initiative and discovering how your organization can get involved, please contact Sarah Perkins, Civic Engagement Coordinator, at sarah.perkins@gatech.edu.
