E-Term 2021: Internships in Community and Social Change

Being able to be an intern at CCDN is something that I will cherish with me forever. The organization focuses on helping people in the community such as getting them food, clothes, finding employment, receiving assistance with rent and utilities, education, and so much more. Being apart of an organization such as CCDN is what causes change in the world. I wish we would not have these types of problems in the world, but we do. It just takes people to want to help others and bring change within the world. This organization is needed because everyone goes through something and sometimes, we just need a little help and CCDN is the organization that gives people the help they need. 

This organization is aware of the problems that people face and tries to be the solution to those problems. If they was not aware, CCDN would not be an organization. Knowing that we have these problems in the world, we try to work as fast as we can to get information from our clients so we can move forward and getting them the help that they need. 

I think for CCDN, they need more people. My supervisor is always busy and there aren't many employees, so some workers can become overwhelmed by their work load. I've watched Youtube videos about social workers and they have said that the work can be overwhelming at times. So there may not be a lot of social workers out there and many organizations probably face this problem. 

I enjoyed the month of January and being able to work with CCDN again. I will continue working with them and my supervisor will give me more work and I will be able to dig deeper into social work. I think social work is what I want to do. I know you do not get paid a lot of money, but its not about the money. I always knew whatever career I wanted to go in, it would involve helping others and being able to change their life. A career such as social work or case management will allow me to change people's lives. I will feel complete. I will fill as if my purpose here on earth has been served.
