Community Learning Center Practicum : My Internship At Neighborhood House

Leadership & Family Enrichment Programs (Programs designed to help strong youth with leadership programs, supporting families, and enriching marriages)

Currently, I have been working as a community nutritionist for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children for over a year and half. My job responsibilities at the office include determination of eligibility of clients, assessment of nutritional health risks, and presentation of nutrition

Since the school is not enrolled with a very diverse population, the staff created a very multicultural environment for the students to explore and learn in. The staff felt that even though the school is undiverse, the world is not and the students need to be educated in this area. The staff worked very hard at coming up with activities to teach multicultural issues. One example of how multicultural diversity was taught was through a “Foods from Around the World” lesson. This was a weekly lesson where the students learned about different countries by sampling their native foods. Each family was asked to donate

I have been involved with various types of social work for most of my life. I have been a minister for 17 years in which I experienced working with people from all age groups. Even before becoming a certified minister, I sought opportunities to

Additionally, I volunteered with community programs focused on alleviating health care issues. For example, I worked with an organization that promotes community discourse on the unique, hidden health challenges of homeless and low-income women and girls. Not long after that, I volunteered at two events,

I am currently doing my internship at this senior center and it is based on the ten core competencies of Eastern’s B.S.W. Program.

For my internship, I served under the Allegheny County Health Department in Pittsburgh, PA. I served as the National Health Corps Member for the Women, Infants, and Children Program as their Care Coordinator for all nine offices. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition agency that targets pregnant and postpartum women and young children ages 5 and under who are at risk of malnutrition. My supervisor Annie Nagy along with my mentors in the office made sure I was able to receive all of the materials and resources I would need to have a complete and successful internship.

(b) housing - I’ve performed outreach, advocated, and assisted in locating suitable housing for case participants as a Social Worker, a Volunteer Guardian ad Litem, and Volunteer at Teen Hope.

I have greatly enjoyed my human services field experience. I usually interacted with a senior named Gloria,who lives in a retirement home, having conversations, playing games, and even going on short walks, allowing her to decide what we would do for the day. This gave me a great opportunity to get involved

The volunteer services and senior employment training program is for elders fifty-five or older. These elders are people who like challenges in their life. They show society volunteering is a great thing to do and show yourself in the community. The senior employment training program provides training and useful part-time work experience. Classroom, workshop training and on-the job work experience provides new skills and enhance old ones, which enables elders to find unsubsidized permanent employment.

My internship is currently at a community agency that is a part of the Community Service Board of Fairfax County, Virginia called Intensive Case Management. The Intensive Case Management program is located in Reston, Virginia. The population that this community agency serves are chronically homeless adults that have a co-occurring disorder of serious mental illness and substance abuse. This agency has seven case managers with a caseload of fifty-two clients. The purpose of this program is to find housing for clients and stabilize their co-occurring disorder so that they can function independently in the community.

Since beginning my internship at the State Historic Preservation Office, my experience and skills have developed exponentially. Attaining proficiency in a professional level government organization has allowed me to appreciate how history works for the public

I wanted to show that children from all around the world, different backgrounds and ethnicities could live and ultimately prosper together.

Today’s classroom is very diverse and the activities should represent the classroom culture. The development of children is centered on what is taught in the classroom. Therefore, the language, intellectual, personality, social and moral, and aesthetic and creative development of preschool age children should be enhanced through multicultural activities and lessons.

In this role, I gained research and modeling experience and worked closely with government officials and EPRI’s director to meet deadlines. My experiences from this internship further intensified my desire to work towards solutions for the complex problems facing governments and non-governmental organizations.
