DOING GOOD - Sunzida Ahmed by GeorgeStreetPlayhouse

CIVIC VOICES is a community-based audio project developed by George Street Playhouse and Rutgers Collaborative Center for Community-Based Service and Research. Designed to better understand the unique, diverse voices of communities throughout New Jersey, CIVIC VOICES encourages civic engagement by strengthening community discourse through theatre arts.

Six students from the Rutgers Bonner Leader Program were given microphones to document their work in several community organizations based in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Civic Voices: The Audio Diary Podcast Series explores their experience and their unique perspectives on how these organizations create a lasting impact.

CIVIC VOICES was produced by Jim Jack, Dustin Ballard, Amy Micheal and Claudio Mir
