Applications for affiliate positions are due Monday, April 3, 2023. Click here to apply. Read on for more information about the positions.
————————————————————————————————
Alternative Spring Break (ASB) leaders
Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a six-day immersive learning experience for undergraduate UMBC students organized by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life. During ASB, participants explore the systemic and human dimensions of complex social issues in Baltimore, spending most of the week in small groups focusing on a specific issue or challenge. ASB groups work with community partners, elected officials, and scholars, in part to help participants identify their own pathways to long-term community engagement. ASB 2024 will take place during the week of UMBC’s Spring Break: March 17 - 24, 2024.
ASB 2024 will be developed by a team of undergraduate student leaders organized and trained by Center for Democracy and Civic Life staff during weekly meetings in the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters. Together, the leaders will develop plans for a holistic, empowering ASB experience for participants. ASB leaders will work in pairs to develop small group experiences exploring social issues in Baltimore. Past ASB groups have explored challenges and solutions relating to equitable access to housing, nutritious food, and health care; disability justice; support for youth impacted by intimate partner violence; and a variety of other issues. Leaders can develop an experience relating to one of these topics, or to a new topic they propose.
The overall time commitment for ASB leaders is approximately 100 hours over the course of the fall 2023 semester (2 hour weekly meetings, plus participation in additional programs), the winter 2024 term (roughly 4 - 6 hours each week), and the spring 2024 semester (2 hour weekly meetings until Spring Break, plus participation in additional programs; all day during the week of Spring Break). For specific meeting and program dates, see the application form.
ASB leaders receive a $1,000 stipend and a zero credit practicum notification (PRAC 121-03) on their transcripts for winter and spring 2024.
All undergraduate students are invited to apply. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in ASB.
ConnectionCorps facilitators
ConnectionCorps is an initiative through which undergraduate UMBC students learn to foster democratic participation and authentic connection among participants in the Center for Democracy and Civic Life’s workshops and programs (e.g., Change Makers Dinners, Changing Maryland, and Dinners with Friends). ConnectionCorps facilitators participate in bi-weekly and ad-hoc training sessions to build community, develop facilitation and dialogue skills, and prepare for specific workshops and programs.
The overall time commitment for ConnectionCorps facilitators is approximately 60 hours (1.5 hour meetings every other week, plus participation in programs and workshops as they arise) over the course of the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters (roughly 30 hours per semester). For specific meeting dates, see the application form.
ConnectionCorps facilitators receive a $600 stipend and a zero credit practicum notification (PRAC 121-05) on their transcripts for spring 2024.
All undergraduate students are invited to apply. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in workshops or programs hosted by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life or Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (i3b).
STRiVE coaches
STRiVE is an immersive five-day leadership for public purpose program for UMBC undergraduate students organized by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life in partnership with the Student Government Association. STRiVE helps inspire and support students in becoming more effective leaders and contributors to their communities, especially the UMBC community. STRiVE participants develop friendships; discover their strengths and values; learn how to work more effectively in groups; envision contributions they could make at UMBC; engage issues relating to identity, privilege, and systemic oppression; and tackle both simulated and real leadership and social change challenges. STRiVE 2024 will take place from January 8 - 12, 2024.
STRiVE 2024 will be facilitated by a team of staff and undergraduate student coaches organized and trained by Center for Democracy and Civic Life staff during weekly meetings in the fall 2023 semester. Together, the coaches will rehearse sessions and make plans for an intensive, engaging STRiVE experience for participants. Each student coach will be paired with a staff coach to facilitate activities for a closely-knit small group (a “pod”) that will meet regularly during STRiVE. Coaches will be trained to facilitate pod and large group sessions.
The overall time commitment for STRiVE coaches is approximately 100 hours over the course of fall 2023 semester (2 hour weekly meetings, plus participation in additional programs) and winter 2024 term (all day on January 5 and 8 - 12, 2024, plus one meeting after STRiVE). For specific meeting and program dates, see the application form.
STRiVE coaches receive a $1,000 stipend and a zero credit practicum notification (PRAC 121-04) on their transcript for winter 2024.
All undergraduate students are invited to apply. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in STRiVE.

Dear Political Science Students,
We are set to hold our 13th undergraduate research conference for political science students on Wednesday, April 5th, 2023 from 11am to 1pm! All students who have written a strong research-oriented paper for any political science course or independent study are welcome to apply.
Conference presenters usually present research that they have completed as a poster that they display on an easel to their visitors. The posters are made in Microsoft's Powerpoint. Normally, visitors study the poster for a few minutes and then interact with you about your work. It's a wonderful opportunity for you to disseminate your research and discuss your ideas to a larger audience.
Below are a few photos from previous conferences to give you an idea of what the conference would look like. In the pictures, you can see an example of a poster. Also, the UMBC Omicron Eta PiSigma Alpha group has received funding from the national organization of PiSigma Alpha to cover the costs associated with your participation in the conference, including the printing and mounting of your poster on a posterboard and lunch the day of the conference. Once we know who is participating, we will distribute information about how to make a poster in Powerpoint and if there is enough interest we will also hold a workshop.
Please consider participating if you have a strong paper from a class or other research experience that you would like to present! It's a wonderful experience for everyone - for presenters and visitors alike.
Thank you so much,
Carolyn Forestiere and Ian Anson

For some inspiration, check out the stories below from UMBC students who had transformative experiences in STRiVE and Alternative Spring Break (ASB), two of the Center for Democracy and Civic Life’s programs. Support STRiVE, ASB, and our other programs here. Please also consider supporting other Division of Student Affairs programs and initiatives listed here.
Kayla Hegbe ’23: "Supporting other people in their goals and their dreams, that is something I really took away from [STRiVE] — being able to be my own leader in my own right, and having an impact, but my way."
Musa Jafri ’24: "Through that week at ASB [Alternative Spring Break] I got to meet an engaged community that made me feel welcome, made me feel like I mattered and belonged, which was very important."
Shawn Abraham ’24: "[STRiVE] taught me that change is always happening, and that change can happen if you put your mind to it."
Brianna Malbon ’24: "I thought I was just going to college to get my degree, but [through STRiVE] I found that I'm going to college to find my community. I'm going to college to change things."

The format will be structured for "speed networking," so you'll know exactly when and who to approach.
The alumni and employers will be arts, humanities, and social science grads now working in a variety of professional careers. They are eager to get to know you!
Food will be provided.
You might even meet someone who can point you toward your next internship or job.
Employer/Alumni Representatives from: Children Achieving Maximum Potential, College to Congress, Leaders of Tomorrow Youth Center, Urban Teachers, Board of Child Care, Native American LifeLines - Inc. Urban IHS, Maryland State Archives (and more!)
