KARA Child Protection Podcast Initiative

The project aims to create a compelling and informative conversational podcast for Kids At Risk Action (KARA) focusing on child abuse and child protection. The goal is to raise awareness, educate the public, and provide valuable insights into the challenges and solutions surrounding child welfare. The podcast will serve as a platform to discuss critical issues, share expert opinions, and highlight personal stories that resonate with listeners. By leveraging classroom knowledge in communication, media production, and social work, learners will develop a podcast that is both engaging and informative. The project will involve researching relevant topics, scripting episodes, and recording and editing audio content. This initiative will help KARA extend its reach and impact in advocating for child protection.

Enhancing Child Protection Awareness on Wikipedia

The project aims to increase public awareness of child abuse trends and developments in child protective services in the United States by enhancing the quality and quantity of information available on Wikipedia. Students will research recent statistics, case studies, and policy changes related to child protection. They will then synthesize this information into well-referenced, neutral, and informative Wikipedia articles. The goal is to provide accessible, accurate, and up-to-date information to the general public, educators, and policymakers. This project will allow students to apply their research and writing skills while contributing to a meaningful cause. By focusing on a single platform, students can make a significant impact within a manageable scope.
