This past Saturday, Civic House Scholars wrapped up the year at their final Civic House Saturday. Scholars learned about philanthropy and the various ways to define service as they volunteered at the Capital Area Food Bank!

For our March Civic House Saturday, scholars participated in a DC gentrification simulation with guests from People Power Action. Scholars learned about the challenges DC residents face when trying to organize and maintain their housing, and they learned about the role of Advisory Neighborhood Commissions in DC government.

Opinion | How a bus ride tells the story of a crisis that existed long before the virus hit

"How a bus ride tells the story of a crisis that existed long before the virus hit" This article was written by Nashman Center alum Joy Sharon Yi who graduated from the Corcoran School in 2017!

The bus is a lifeline through poorer areas of Washington, D.C., where food and services can be hard to reach. And it tells the story of a crisis that existed long before the coronavirus hit.
