PKG Spring Break—Climate Change, Health, + Tech for Good!<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/programs/pkg-spring-break/> (Free!)
Program Overview
For spring 2022, we will offer 3 cohort experiences for groups of 10 students each. Each group will focus on a social theme throughout MIT’s spring break from March 20-24, 2022. As a group member you will:
•         Have fun together as a group and get to know your cohort members
•         Reflect on various social factors related to your theme and consider the dynamics of power, privilege, and positionality as it relates to public interest work around your theme
•         Meet community organizations and practitioners that address your group’s topic, learn how the organization serves clients, and the issues/policies they face
•         Meet other MIT stakeholders and learn about efforts on campus to engage in your theme
This year we’ll be based locally in Cambridge. We recognize students on campus during spring break may have some competing opportunities, so we’re offering a tiered week calendar. Learn more here!<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/programs/pkg-spring-break/>
