COR 316 2 - Mentoring Through Media Arts

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

Students in this course will learn about issues faced by young people growing up in an economically marginalized community, and gain experience mentoring young people through media arts such as photojournalism and video. Through pairings with Boys and Girls Club participants, students will build relationships with youth and assist as young people develop skill in using media for self-expression. Mentoring experiences are informed by and integrated with reading on motivating urban youth and other class materials, and provide a foundation from which to learn about the challenges faced by youth, parents and other community members where basic resources are lacking.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school.
