There are multiple tasks involved in carrying out this assignment. First, your task will be to complete 5 individual listening sessions with residents in
Monmouth County (Part 1). You will then compile the information you obtained from the 5 sessions and provide field notes at the end of which you will
reflect on your experiences (Part 2). Once this this is complete, you will work with a team of peers for the community assessment assignment (Part 3). Your
assessment will be based on data you gather through research, interviews with residents in Monmouth County, and participant-observation. Based on that
assessment, develop a community action plan (Part 4). At the end of the semester, you will present your work to the class (Part 5).
