UTSA Social Work Project

Citizen’s Bill of Rights and
Responsibilities:
My City, My Voice


Citizen’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities: My City, My Voice is the name of a project being undertaken by students from the Fall 2011 Advanced Communities class in the Department of Social Work at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).

The project is an outgrowth of the SA 2020 community sustainability initiative unveiled by Mayor Julián Castro at the UTSA Downtown Campus on March 19, 2011. More specifically, the project fits under the SA 2020 Government Accountability and Civic Engagement Vision Area. The primary objective of the project is to develop a Citizen’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities that reflects the voices of a broad cross-section of the citizens of San Antonio. A secondary objective of the project is to create a transformative learning experience for students in the class.
The students are responsible for all aspects of the project, including reaching out to citizens and other stakeholders to obtain information that will serve as the basis for the Citizen’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, engaging the media to promote the work of the project, seeking in-kind and other donations, and organizing a final event at which the Citizen’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities will be presented.
