BSW Community Projects
Do social workers do more than casework....case
management....or counseling? YES!
Read on about social work students getting involved in their communities
-- what they have learned and the differences we can make.
This web site was created to educate people on community interventions
that social work students choose to engage in at the BSW level
in rural Northern California. Some of these projects were developed
in collaboration with the agencies where students do their senior
internships, while others grew out of a student's personal interests.
As you will read, projects were designed and carried out in some
cases by a group of students, while others were initiated and
implemented by an individual. Regardless of the approach or topic,
each project responded to an unmet need in the community, as expressed
by both professionals and consumers/clients.
Our purpose in creating a web site was to acknowledge the diverse
efforts that BSW students make in responding to consumers/clients,
as they together work to strengthen communities and the social
welfare system. We invite you to share your responses to the projects
undertaken by the students whose projects are listed below. Please
contact us with any comments or questions -- Patty Hunter at phunter@csuchico.edu
