Description

Integrating and networking of human services into community agendas will be the focus of this course. Human service professionals will learn how to make the public aware of available services through board participation, support groups, promotional campaigns, fund-raising efforts, and the writing of announcements, press releases and newsletters. Public policy and administration and community development theory will be linked with practice through readings, guest lectures and field experiences. Students will learn methods for promoting positive community partnerships and building multi-sector support in an increasingly competitive environment.
