In a few paragraphs, provide a brief overview of your organization. Include their history, mission, and current initiatives or challenges. Why do they exist? How are they working to effect change in the community? Also give a short description of the project you are working on, including why it is important to the organization. Post this to Moodle under the thread Organization Description.
Then, read and comment on at least two other posts. What do you find interesting? What questions do you have?
I am interning with the nonprofit, Community Care Development Network. As they strive to help develop and maintain local programs. They have a main focus on helping the entire family by providing resources for all. CCDN has programs in mentoring, educating, counseling and so much more. Their goal is to empower and influence people to create new opportunities for themselves, while giving them the chance to see the potential that they have.
I will be working as a case management intern. This implies that I will be reaching out to clients and making sure that their information is up-to-date in the system and that they are made aware of all the resources the CCDN has to offer. This is an important job that will help the organization because if the patient doesn’t have all the required documents submitted then the entire process of receiving the assistance can be placed on hold. So making sure that the clients give all of the correct and important documents is an important job because we don’t want anyone to miss out on receiving the assistance they need.
