Field Agency Program and Community Profile Guide
This is the agency: Home – Enoch Pratt Free Library (prattlibrary.org)
The purpose of the Field Agency Program and Community Profile Guide is to assist the student in embracing the agency, the population served by the agency, and every aspect of life within that community. It is incumbent upon urban social work practitioners to know and possess the necessary social work practice skills to connect with what is unique to the neighborhoods as it relates to the structure and function of the enterprise. Having knowledge of the organizations’ purpose, structure and theoretical framework will allow the student to comprehend the mission and focus of the agency. An awareness of who the clients are, what their needs are and how the community in which they reside influences and impacts them will provide the student with a foundation to effectively and efficiently provide the type of service(s) required to meet client needs in the urban community. Urban living remains an environment of challenge and change.
