Atlas Program Seeking Volunteers for Human Library

03/03/2023

The Atlas Program is seeking volunteers interested in becoming a book for Atlas Week's edition of the Human Library project. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 17. 

The purpose of the human library is to create space for "readers" and "books" to engage in dialogue and personal conversations that challenges stigma and stereotypes of various identities, lifestyles, and experiences.

A book is someone who volunteers to represent a stigmatized group in the community and based on their personal experiences can answer questions from readers to help challenge what is being said/told/understood about a given topic.

Topics and experiences can range anywhere from race, ability and disorders, religion, culture, alcoholism, body modifications, sex and sexuality, refugees & immigration, living in the U.S. as an international citizen, activism, homelessness, etc.

To become a book, please apply by filling out the Google form.

The Twenty-Third Annual Atlas Week is April 16-22, 2023. For questions, please email Luella Loseille.
