Storytelling is key in our attempts to understand and interact with each other and the world around us. The Community Service Center strives to be a space where students and members of the Boston community can come together and learn from one another. BU students can aid in that mission by joining our storytelling teams. The CSC utilizes our blog (you are here!) and our podcast,“Ask and Tell”, to achieve the following goals:
- To share the diverse voices of the CSC and the BU community and discuss social justice issues, both global and local, and how they pertain to us as students and citizens.
- To create space where people can discuss issues and share stories in an authentic way.
- To promote the sharing of diverse and dissenting opinions in a civil manner.
- To promote CSC programs and events.
- To celebrate the BU community.
Storytelling Volunteers, or “Storytellers” have the opportunity to produce content for the CSC blog and podcast. This may include doing social justice research, infographic creation, writing opinion articles, interviewing with community members, and recording & audio editing. Storytellers engage in a unique service as most of our work involves facilitating communication about a deeper topic with others, molding a foundation for future change. Our volunteers are the backbone for what we do, so your interest is greatly appreciated! Opportunities to serve include semester-long service or on a month by month basis. All are welcome!
