Musings of a college graduate

For a while I’ve been thinking about how to get more experience in social services. I knew it would be difficult to find time in my 40 hour work week to volunteer. Until one day it hit me, I just need to ask my supervisor if I would be able to manage a case at work. The kids go to school during the day and although I do my best to find things to do during that time, I thought it would be more beneficial to case manage instead of doing busy work. My supervisor spoke to her supervisor and they gave me the go ahead! Now I am an “unofficial” case manager. I’m working with the single women we serve and I’m really excited to gain more experience and to hopefully point myself in the right direction. Let’s see what happens next.
