Unit Overview 

In a civil society, it is everyone's responsibility to make sure the rights of the minority are respected and upheld, and this protection is often championed through political action by the nonprofit sector. It is in the enlightened self-interest of the majority to protect the rights of the minority because when everyone does well our society is better. 

Service Experience 
Prepare to volunteer in an independent sector organization that works to protect the rights of the minority.
