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.

UMBC’s 2023 Black and Gold Rush concludes tonight at 9 p.m. Please consider supporting the Center for Democracy and Civic Life’s programs today. Your gift will help us to extend and deepen our work of empowering and equipping UMBC students to make meaningful contributions to their communities.
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."

Dear friends of i3b (old, new, and soon-to-be!),
When you give to i3b, you support students finding belonging in identity-based spaces across campus, like The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity, The Pride Center, and the Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being. Your gift also funds programs that help students develop skills needed to dialogue across difference and become more equitable and inclusive community leaders.
Support initiatives like the Interact Dialogues Program, Your Story Belongs Here theater collaboration and annual graduation celebrations like the Lavender Graduation & Scholarship and the Black & Latin/e/x Graduation Celebration
Support the expansion of religious and spiritual student resources and programming
Support LGBTQ outreach programming and Pride Center beautification by giving to the LGBTQ Outreach fund
A contribution of any amount will make a significant difference. bell hooks told us, “Without love, our efforts to liberate ourselves and our world community from oppression and exploitation are doomed.” This thinking grounds our community and our commitment in radical love and belonging. Whether you decide to give today or not, we hope we can now consider you friends of i3b…. Friends who will join us as we strive to co-create a more socially just world.
Please also consider supporting other programs and initiatives in UMBC's Division of Student Affairs that help students to get involved, develop leadership skills, build thriving relationships and communities, and access support in challenging times. See this post for a list of these initiatives. Donate by visiting blackandgoldrush.umbc.edu.
