Community Support and Networking

Experiences from this semester have taught me how valuable having a good network is. My plans to facilitate ( or aid in a present organization) that promotes social development of underprivileged youth lead me to search for the processes and trainings required to efficiently establish and maintain such an organization. My volunteer experiences have taught me the chain of commands, boards, councils, and community support that all combine to financially, and effectively run a program. Content from classes have expressed how involved religious groups are in supporting the disadvantaged and how network through churches has historically sustained the welfare of many communities. The following articles discuss the advantages of networking between legislators, social workers, and community activists and ways community support helps in the accomplishment of ameliorating the state of social welfare.
