UNC School of Social Work Asks How to Support Your Community
The School has served North Carolina through partnerships and programs with local and state leaders in mental health, child welfare, aging, disability, and substance use and wants to hear from you.
The UNC School of Social Work has launched an Office of Community Engagement & Outreach (OCEO) in an effort to strengthen their community engagement and want community priorities, ideas, and lived experiences to help guide their work.
Community partners, including nonprofits, are invited to share feedback through a short survey about how they engage and work with communities to help understand what’s working, where to improve, and what matters most to the communities they serve. Participation is voluntary, and responses are anonymous.
For decades, the School has served North Carolina through partnerships and programs with local and state leaders in mental health, child welfare, aging, disability, and substance use.
The OCEO intends to expand student learning through new community practicum sites and enhanced supervision for macro students while building stronger connections with UNC’s broader engagement network.
The 25 programs of the Social Work Coalition on North Carolina Workforce Development have launched the Public Service Leadership Program to strengthen the social work workforce across the state by expanding career paths, preparing students for practice in public sector roles, and supporting leadership development among current professionals.
Long-term, multi-dimensional, reciprocal community relationships focused on community problem-solving. To ensure this work reflects community voices and engages with community in a mutually beneficial and culturally responsive way, the OCEO is gathering community input through a collaborative, transformative process: Community Voice Assessment Project (CVAP).
If interested, you can also sign up for future listening sessions at the end of the survey.
The UNC School of Social Work’s Office of Community Engagement & Outreach appreciates your honest feedback and perspective in its Community Voice Assessment Project.
