Walden University Social Change Project Report

 report of your Social Change Project 

Provide a brief synopsis of the social problem and policy you identified. 

Describe the steps of your project: 

How did your experiences as a social work professional and your own goals for advocacy inform your selection of a social problem? 

How did your knowledge of, or prior experiences with, the social problem inform your policy analyses? 

What did you learn through each step, including your selection of a social problem, identification of a policy, proposal for advocacy, and recommendation for a policy alternative? 

Reflecting on your experience, identify 2–3 opportunities for growth. What would you do differently based on your recent learnings?  

For example, you might select a different policy alternative that would be better received by elected officials (or other decision makers in a position of power). Or you might use different strategies when speaking in front of a group to advocate for change. 

Explain how policy relates to direct practice. 

Describe how you will apply advocacy skills as a social worker.
