Service is simply an act of helpful activity and the transferable skills that are gained from service illustrate the importance of being involved. By volunteering in my community and taking part in organizations that are centered on service, I am able to strengthen my understanding of my surroundings, and I am taught more compassion for others. Being involved presents unlimited opportunities to give back to others, and with the skills instilled by service, I am able to make a difference in the lives around me. Experience gained with service creates characteristics in a person that can shape the direction of my life, and I will value that in the future.
In this paper, the role of a social worker will be addressed. A Human Service professional has, in its hands, the responsibilities in the life of the clients and families they meet. The tremendous and arduous responsibilities they take on include, but are not limited to, the well-being and care of people and their communities. Such roles can be helping others manage the care of a family member, assisting individuals experiencing problems with family relations and conflicts, dealing with changes that come with growing old, aiding those suffering mental illness and or those individuals struggling with addictions. Briefly

The people in the world that we live in are extremely diverse, in terms of the nationalities, religions, gender classifications and physical abilities.

The range of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds that social workers will practice in is huge. Because of this, social workers must have an understanding of the values and attitudes of a multitude of different cultures as well as an understanding of their own attitudes and
Social work involves passionate individuals who are dedicated to helping others by providing services to vulnerable children, families or individuals in need, while constantly looking for ways in which we can improve society.

It is no secret that this is a challenging career; however, the feeling of knowing that you made the world a better place is indescribable.

In the document titled, In the service of what? The Politics of Service Learning, authors Kahne & Westheimer, discuss “the moral domain, service learning activities and the two different assumptions regarding political socialization”. Particularly what it means to be a citizen (Kahne & Westheimer, 1996). They describe social sustainability projects as being able to meet students’ needs for “personal relevance and a sense of membership in a community”. One way this can be achieved is by encompassing volunteerism and compassion for the less fortunate and vulnerable individuals in our communities. It is with this definition in mind along with the vision of Bronwyn Sheehan founder of The Pyjama Foundation, that allow me to see the robustness of

Ever since I was a child, I loved helping others.

This career path would allow me to help others in a variety of different settings and capacities.

Social Work is a discipline that can be a very rewarding experience for both the worker and the client. The practice involves working with individuals, families, or groups who are struggling to cope with life`s challenges. The social worker must combine his or her personal qualities, creative abilities, and social concerns with the professional knowledge in order to help client’s social functioning or prevent social problems from developing (Bradford W.

Social work practice seeks to promote human well-being, while addressing the processes by which individuals and groups are marginalized or diminished in their capacity to participate as citizens (Ian O'Connor, 2006, p. 1).
