This assignment asks the student to choose an area of social work that interests you such as: poverty, homelessness, health care, mental health, children and families, adolescents, minorities, immigrants and other oppressed populations, substance abuse and addiction, and the elderly. Once you have identified the population of concern, please identify a BSW or MSW practitioner in the community who works with this population and arrange to interview her/him. The practitioner must be a social worker.
Choose a population
Identify a BSW and MSW on social worker at that agency. The agency website is a good place to start. Also, calling the main agency number, introduce yourself and ask if there is a social worker who you could speak with about a student assignment.
