MSW Field Profiles 2022-23

MSW Carolyn Kornak 2022 Agency Name: The Valley Against Sex Trafficking Profile: The Valley Against Sex Trafficking (VAST) is a nonprofit in Allentown with the mission of ending sex trafficking through collaboration, education, and advocacy. VAST serves to support survivors of sex trafficking at any point along their journey and those at risk of being trafficked. Field Placement Responsibilities: At VAST, I will be able to assist survivors and those at-risk in accessing necessities and community resources. I will also be assisting in raising funds and reaching out to possible sponsors for the agency's annual fundraising event. This field placement also gives me the chance to utilize my skills to update the agency website. VAST collaborates with several other organizations in the community, including the Valley Youth House where I will be facilitating groups focused on trafficking awareness, safety, and coping skills. I will also be able to participate in community outreach activities that offer the community members free food and hygiene items and provide the organization the chance to meet people in the community who may benefit from VAST. Future Goals: In the future, I hope to graduate with my MSW and become a Licensed Social Worker. Department of Social Work
