MSW Field Profiles 2018-19

MSW McKenzie Hollenbach 2018-2019 Agency Name: Social Workers and Advocates at Kutztown Profile: Social Workers and Advocates of Kutztown is an organization based out of Kutztown University with the mission of enhancing student awareness of social justice and assisting the Kutztown community through a commitment to social justice. Field Placement Responsibilities: As an intern for SWAK I am responsible for coordinating and facilitating opportunities for social work students to discuss issues/concerns related to the field, and to identify micro, mezzo, and macro practice opportunities within the Kutztown community that address such issues. In addition, I will be assisting with the facilitation of various professional social work conferences throughout the academic year. I am also tasked with the responsibility of representing SWAK by attending on-campus and community organizing events. By attending such events and volunteer opportunists, I hope to effectively advocate for unmet community needs identified by Kutztown students as well as the broader Kutztown community. Future Goals: Currently, I ammost interested in researching, writing, and working with clients in the disability services field, specifically individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
