When in Salinas Chinatown--a neighborhood with a large population of unhoused residents, where crime has been a problem--service learning students may encounter many types of people, including City staff, community service workers, police, homeless people and families, and at-risk persons. Students are instructed to be polite and respectful to all persons in the neighborhood. Do not take photographs, since some people living on the streets may feel it is very intrusive.
