Pursuing My Field Internship In The Workplace

I was raised with the fundamental notion of service to mankind, I have always been interested in society’s injustices and problems, and being a catalyst for change. This has brought me to applying to the University of Central Florida’s Master of Nonprofit Management program within the School of Public Administration. I am currently a practitioner in Social Work and serve as the Director of Social Services at the Orlando Area Command of The Salvation Army. I have received my bachelors and master’s degree in Social Work from Barry University in Miami, FL.

With a focus on the University of Pittsburgh’s MSW program, I anticipate a curriculum that will give me tools and unique procedures to analyze and understand clients’ different life situations. This program will provide me with the knowledge to evaluate and apply research methods. I will become more activity oriented to the prevention and alleviation of social problems. Upon completion of master degree, I would have demonstrated empathy along with a genuine desire to improve the quality of the lives of others. The University of Pittsburgh’s MSW program will not only offer a path of

It is with great enthusiasm that I write to apply for the Staff Attorney Homelessness Prevention Project position at the Inner City Law Center (ICLC). Andrew Esbenshade from Caldwell Leslie & Proctor, PC recently referred me to you. He spoke highly of the ICLC and encouraged me to apply to this position. Given my professional experience and academic background, I am confident I could be an asset to your team.

People need to know where to get help and or training. I am pursuing a degree in Human Services where I hope to get the education and training to serve people. I have been taught to treat people with respect the same as I want people to treat me. To treat people with compassion and understanding. I have been taught that human life is priceless and that one life is not worth more than another.

With this degree, I expect to gain a better sense of policy with nonprofit management, and to concentrate on what it takes to build effective, multi-cultural organizations, as well as what it takes to run them. My goal is to open and manage community centers for inner-city youths. This is important to me because there are students who excel academically, but live in unsupportive and poverty-stricken neighborhoods. Through my experiences working with inner-city adolescents, I have met students distracted and disconnected from their academics because of the lack of resources within urban communities. It is important to understand time as an asset; students spend one-third of their day in school, while using the other two-thirds ineffectively outside of school. My community centers will offer a space where students can find refuge and a safe environment to seek guidance. Through recreational and after-school programs, along with parental and family support, I intend to give students the life tools necessary to succeed. While creating my community center, I will be able to show my talents and knowledge to the best of my ability while providing help to youths and families. The leadership development and supplementary training in budgeting, accounting, principles of management, and policy practice will help me conceive and carry out future solutions. Most importantly, I will make the centers accessible and affordable for

I am Denise, and I peacefully reside in Columbus, Georgia I am married and have two daughters who have been a wonderful support in my ambition to obtain an MSW degree. I recently moved to Columbus, Georgia by way of Chattanooga, TN where I worked for a community based agency that provided services for the adult mental health. As a case worker, I traveled throughout the mountainous areas of Tennessee. also known as the Rolling Hills of Tennessee with san mountain and Lookout mountain being most commonly known for its steep twist and turns and where I conducted most of my visitations. In meeting individuals that resided in very rustic locations, I gained awareness of the lack of available resources for lower income individuals

As long as I can remember I have always wanted to make a change for the better in the lives of other people. I love, enjoy and am passionate about working with children. It wasn’t until my little cousins born addicted to drugs and alcohol which caused developmental and intellectual disabilities and some communication deficiencies, did I begin to develop an interest in the behaviors of others. Throughout high school I would volunteer at hospitals, child care centers, and cerebral palsy foundations. I have over 15 years work experience applied behavior

Although I gained some knowledge about the public sector throughout my internship experiences, I still have the urge to learn and experience more about this subject. Being an intern at the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office: Victim Assistance Program got me more involve in the subject of public administration. As an intern, I had to inform the victims about the services the Victim Assistance Program offers. In addition, my responsibilities were to document calls for statistical purposes. I had to maintain files/records of the victims as well.

This paper is a documentation of an interview that was conducted with a college student in the Social Work program at Central Michigan University. The student is currently enrolled in the first semester of her last year as an undergrad. Her final step in successfully completing the Social Work program is a four-hundred-hour internship. The purpose of this internship is to explore career interests and gain experience. The student, Marie Benner was assigned to the Community Mental Health for Central Michigan agency after going through a formal application and interview process with the Social Work advisors. This interview was done face to face and lasted an hour. It took place at the Charles V. Park Library on October 25th, 2016. She can be reached

I am interested in working to identify community needs that align with my skills of: leadership, engagement, organization, data entry/editing, and empathetic listening.

When looking at the social work field many could notice how broad this profession is. It’s about helping others in many different situations. The Dead Man Walking video was an interesting story to watch. This video involved a mentor and throughout the video we could see how this menor guided a prisoner to have a closer relationship with God. As I watched the video I kept the topic issues, from the handout, in mind.

My extensive experience conducting client intake for multiple public service agencies provides me with a background required for the Self-Help Center Attorney position. At the Alliance for Children’s Rights, I spent over 6 months honing my issue spotting skills by efficiently conducting hundreds of community members through an intake process. I quickly learned which cases needed to be referred elsewhere, and which cases needed a more directed questionnaire. Later in the process, I put together notes to be used for referring the cases to pro bono

In our scope of practice, many lines of our work exist on a continuum, and likewise, our advocacy role contains everything from designing interventions to influencing public policy and systemic changes (Gladding & Newsome, 2018, p. 179). At times, we will face clients possibly living in conditions that are hindering them from reaching their full potential. As a counselor and advocate, we must remember that specific groups are faced with more challenges than others, for illustration, Muslims, and Hispanics. Counselors should take a leap toward social justice for these two groups, and any others in their clientele. According to Gladding & Newsome (2018), becoming involved with empowerment, outreach, social justice and social action are ways in which we can aim to help society and not just individual clients.

Working with nonprofit agencies and AmeriCorp V.I.S.T.A. (Volunteer in Service to America), I had the opportunity to learn firsthand at the efforts given within agencies to service the environment and the public by making changes, and implementing reforms on different issues. I found I have a passion for people, legal policies, compliances, and I am very good as a spokes person, or advocate speaking on change. During the time when I was facilitating as a General Education Development instructor for

My goals for the start for my internship were simple, but quickly evolved. My goals were to gain experience and build my resume, while bringing the lessons I have learnt in college, and using my skills as an engineer to help the department of public works. Now my goals have become more specific; I would like to learn more about sewer operations, I would like to develop my computing and design skills using the tools available to the Hydraulic section and I would like to mature as an engineering professional. While at the hydraulics section, I have access to programs like MUNSYS, as well as ArcGIS. As an intern, I update and maintain sewer related features on these programs. I would like to learn everything I can to develop my skills as a designer to help me become a better engineer.
