It examines competition pressures facing MSW programs, including growth of online graduate options and limited availability of qualified field instructors. It then maps program strengths to organizational needs, proposes partnership development as a form of “donor acquisition,” and addresses challenges in working with faith-based agencies to support a triple bottom line of capacity building and improved student

SERVICE LEARNING, FIELD SITE RECRUITMENT &  \nFAITH-BASED PARTNERSHIPS  \nBy: Catherine Fisher, MSW  \nPresented at:  \nNACSW Convention 2015  \nNovember, 2015  \nGrand Rapids, Michigan  \n| [www.nacsw.org | info@nacsw.org | 888-426-4712 |](www.nacsw.org | info@nacsw.org | 888-426-4712 |)  \nLeveraging Service Learning, Field Site Recruitment & Faith-Based Partnerships  \nCatherine Fisher, MSW, LSCW  \nNACSW ANNUAL CONFERENCE, November 12-15th, 2015  \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES  \n􀂃 Understand the need for innovative approaches to recruit and retain quality internship training sites.  \n􀂃 Recognize both training potential and program needs of small to mid-size faithbased social service organizations.  \n􀂃 Learn how to develop an agency partnership and structure a successful student service learning project.  \n􀂃 Consider potential challenges in working with faith-based organizations.  \n􀂃 Learn “donor development” tactics to achieve a triple bottom line: organizational capacity building, social work field capacity building and increase quality of student learning.  \nRECOGNIZING MSW PROGRAM NEED FOR QUALITY TRAINING SITES  \nChallenges:  \n􀂃 MSW Programs located in large urban centers are experiencing increased competition to secure quality clinical training sites.  \n􀂃 There has been an increase in graduate online programs, resulting in increasing competition for internship sites  \n􀂃 Psychology clinical training programs continue to expand, and MFT and Psychology students compete with MSW students for available slots  \n􀂃 Difficulty retaining professional social workers as field instructors when decreased government funding and increasing workloads in social service agencies strain their capacity to mentor students (Poulin, Kauffman & Silver, 2006).  \n􀂃 Limited number of mezzo and macro practice trainings sites with an available qualified MSW field instructor (Nandan and Scott, 2011)  \nINNOVATION REQUIRES ASSESSING YOUR ASSETS  \nAzusa Pacific Social Work Program STRENGTHS:  \n􀂃 Our MSW program has strong ties to faith-based organizations due to our rich as Christian institute of Higher Education.  \n􀂃 Our faculty have expertise working with faith communities and integrating spirituality in assessment and treatment planning.  \n􀂃 Our faculty have clinical competencies in working with diverse populations providing mental health and care management services  \n􀂃 Our faculty have macro expertise in organizational management, program planning and evaluation and community organizing  \n= MSW Program goal: Matching our assets with the needs of faith-based organizations to develop mutually beneficial partnerships  \nTHE OPPORTUNITY  \nOur program is situated in a large city with a proliferation of urban community and faith-based nonprofits engaged in serving the homeless, low income families, immigrants, elderly, disabled and foster children.  \nNEEDS OF FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING COMMUNITY SERVICES  \n􀂃 FBOs are uniquely situated to service vulnerable populations such as impoverished families, prisoners in their rehabilitation and reintegration processes, children of prisoners, homeless individuals, and high-risk youth (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2002).  \n􀂃 Leake, Green, Marquez,Vanderburg, Guillaume & Gardner (2007) conducted a survey of 44 faith based organizations and found that only (56%) of organizations had a grant-writing template, 31% had process evaluation plans and few had either a fund-raising plan (15%) or an outcome evaluation plan (18%).  \n􀂃 Faith-based programs often have organizational weaknesses in capacity, including “inadequate personnel policies, hiring practices, fiscal management, and fund-raising capacities; [and] a general lack of program knowledge”(Ericson, 2001, p. 2).  \n􀂃 According to The Urban Institute community and faith-based organizations are vital to communities because of their ability to provide highly flexible, often low cost, responses to local needs. However,“many such organizations have rela","cbCaimzg4LHFngUo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimzg4LHFngUo","pdf",568587,"English","# Workshop Objectives\n## Recognizing MSW Program Need for Quality Training Sites\n## Innovation Requires Assessing Your Assets\n## The Opportunity\n## Needs of Faith-Based Organizations Providing Community Services\n## Partnering with Faith-Based Social Service Agencies: Opportunities for Student Training\n## Approaching Agency Partnerships Like Donor Development","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the workshop address for MSW programs?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the need for innovative strategies to recruit and retain qualified internship training sites despite increasing competition and reduced agency capacity to mentor students.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the presentation suggest assessing strengths and matching needs?\",\"answer\":\"It matches program assets—such as ties to faith-based organizations and faculty expertise—with the needs of faith-based community service organizations to create mutually beneficial partnerships.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “donor development” mean in the context of recruiting field sites?\",\"answer\":\"Field directors can frame training site recruitment as “donor acquisition,” starting with an initial short-term commitment (e.g., a student project) and cultivating the relationship into ongoing internship support and deeper partnerships.\"}]","Leveraging Service Learning, Field Site Recruitment & Faith-Based Partnerships - Workshop Objectives | PDF",1789239309,7]
