Description
During summer 2020, we took a grant writing class which allowed us to collaborate with the Hearts and Hands Clinic. We helped them to write a funding proposal to support the hiring of social workers to serve as the liaison between them and social organizations that provide services including shelter and counseling in Statesboro, Georgia. The grant was submitted to Georgia Power, a foundation that is focused on improving the lives of residents of the state. This service learning opportunity enhanced our understanding of the major concepts on funding of public health programs taught in the class and allowed us to gain experience in writing grants thereby enhancing our professional growth opportunities. Amid Covid-19, our service-learning experience was adapted to online format using WebEx and Folio. We had the opportunity to network with the community partner and made a significant contribution to the health needs of the local community.
