In social work, the ability to navigate community systems and build professional networks is a core skill. This assignment ensures you are on track for your final report in SW 110 and helps you begin narrowing your focus for the next class in this series: SW 120 – Fields of Service.
Instructions: To complete this class, students must visit a non-profit in any community that provides support or services to community members. For the final assignment, you will need to visit the non-profit organization, speak with staff to learn about the organization, take a tour, and gain an understanding of the work they do, how they do it, and the impact they have on clients and the community.
For THIS assignment, you do NOT need to visit a non-profit yet.
Instead, please provide a short, 250-400-word written answer to the following questions (2-3 paragraphs at MOST):
- Targeting a Field: Look up local non-profit organizations near you. As you research the local nonprofits and the services they provide clients and the community, I’m guessing you will find one or two more interesting than the rest. What “Field” of service are they in? What I mean by that is what category of social work do they fall into (e.g., Gerontology, School Social Work, Child Welfare, Medical Social Work)? How does the agency you are contacting fit into that field?
- Professional Outreach: List the agencies you have researched or contacted. Provide:
- Organization Name
- Address
- Which Field of Service do they address?
- Who was your point of contact, and what was the result of your outreach?
- The “Why”: Connect this agency to our course topics. Why is this specific site a good place to observe a “social problems approach” in action?
- Logistics: Confirm your scheduled date and time. If you haven’t secured a spot yet, what is your “Plan B” to ensure you meet the course deadline?
