Ideal student description: We are a new nonprofit that launched our programs in 2020. Our Founder & CEO is a social worker and we have social workers leading all departments of the organization. We are growing at a rapid pace and offer an opportunity for MSW students to engage in direct practice, program design/implementation/evaluation, and nonprofit management. An ideal student would be self-motivated and willing to jump into all aspects of the program.
