Various approaches to community intervention as well as their relevance and application to current social problems are also presented. The course reviews the nature of formal organizations as environments through which social services are provided in the community and the knowledge and skills necessary to affect change within organizations. Sensitivity to ethical issues and vulnerable and diverse populations is woven throughout the course as essential to the effective practice of macro social work. Students will focus on analysis of the community as a social system, common strategies for producing change in community work, the nature of formal organizations as environments through which social services are provided in the community, and the knowledge and skills necessary to affect change within organizations. Students will examine the role of a macro social worker as program developer, program administrator, and organization developer. This course conceptualizes macro social work as the profession that brings about social transformation, social reform, and community betterment. Prerequisite: successful completion of SW 541.
