Description

Week 13 is asynchronous. Students read Chapter 14 of Kirst-Ashman and Hull (2018), which addresses how agencies develop and manage resources, including grant writing, fundraising strategies, working with the media, and the role of technology in agency practice. There is also a lecture video this week focused on practical technology tips for social workers. The five forums give students opportunities to engage with key textbook concepts, apply media guidelines to a case study, reflect on their own experience with grants and fundraising, and connect resource development to their Community Impact Project.
