ENGAGE Team Virtual Conversation on Volunteer Opportunities During COVID-19
April 9, 2020 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
The School of Social Work’s ENGAGE Team is hosting virtual discussions for students and the Michigan Social Work community on engaging and assisting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion on April 9 showcases the emergency response work of MSW student and Pastor of the Historic King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Charles E. Williams II. Williams shared other community engagement opportunities in Detroit. The Office of Field Education also will provide guidelines on receiving field credit for volunteer work, and Dominique Crump, MSW '19 will guide students through a meditation and discussion on the importance of self-care.
In addition, the session will:
share community volunteer opportunities
discuss how these activities may count for field credit, and will
showcase the needs of community and organizational leaders responding to the crisis
share stories of volunteer experiences
Note; if you are an MSW student, the hours you volunteer may be counted towards your field hour requirements. Check with your field faculty member and have your volunteer opportunity approved in advance as a supplemental field experience activity.
Organizers: ENGAGE SSW and the Office of Field Education
Facilitators: Trina Shanks, Dan Fischer, Sonia Harb, Fatima Salman, Ayesha Ghazi Edwin, and Dominique Crump
Featuring: The Ginsberg Center
We look forward to you joining us for a rich conversation on how we can mobilize ourselves to better respond to community needs during this time of crisis.
