Reflection Topic 1

When entering systems (e.g. jobs, schools, community centers, churches, and courts) we bring a set of assumptions and expectations, which are grounded in our previous experiences. These experiences are further grounded in our unique identities.

Describe your assumptions and expectations about working to support community service organizations. How might volunteerism benefit you and the community.

Discuss how your personal identity and interpersonal development have fostered your assumptions and expectations about community work.

Please consider your previous experience in community organizations and what messages you received about helping people in need.

Please reference and cite Caplan & Nelson (1973) and the

Advocacy

page on the APA.
