Gatorship

To start of this week is our lovely Assistant Director, Dani! ✨

The first time I heard about the Gatorship retreat was in the Spring semester of my sophomore year. I had no idea what it was besides the fact that it concerned social justice. Still, I wanted to be more involved at UF and explore new experiences. I decided to apply for it and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made here while at my time at UF! Retreats are so much more than just social justice, they’re a safe space where you can both learn and educate others at the time. It’s a place where you’re met with compassion and love and feel a sense of community. At Gatorship, marginalized voices are heard and given a platform to share their experiences. At retreat, I was able to learn so much about radical healing and social justice while at the same time meeting some of the coolest people. I’m so grateful for my experience at the Gatorship retreat which is why I’m currently one of the assistant directors for this amazing organization! I recommend everyone applies to the retreat to experience Gatorship for themselves 💗
