Homework

For this homework you have the opportunity to research an agency that serves children, youth, and/or families and conduct a brief analysis.

Note you are asked to identify a specific organization or agency serving children, youth, and/or families. This does not mean a type of resource, but rather a broader organizational service provider.

The first part of your analysis will consist of framing a descriptive introduction to the agency and should include information responding to all of the questions below.

The second part of your analysis should include a deeper analysis of what you have come to learn about this agency. Use your own words, as though you were telling a colleague about what you have learned.

Consider, from your research, what have you come to understand about this agency?

How is this agency an important resource for children and/or families?

How likely are you to want to volunteer, or work for this agency someday? What stood out to you about the agency?

What do you appreciate about this agency and what stands out to you as potential opportunities for change?

To the extent possible, try anchoring your observations to readings, theories, and discussions from the course. In concluding your project summarizes the main points of your analysis and what you are taking away from the learning experience. This is an analysis.
