Providing social support/mentorship to under-resourced/underperforming high school students - (60 hours/2 yrs)

Could you specify your responsibilities and impact when you say "social support"? What about their families?

^Volunteer teacher - aimed at increasing opportunities for local students to pursue subjects that aren't taught in school - (155 hours/3 yrs) - (2.5 years exec board)

Both roles are extensions of tutoring, mentoring, and teaching (academic competencies) and not service orientation where you help alleviate distress. Do you have any such activities?

Sure! I was paired with X, a high school student who failed his 9th grade year (making him eligible for the program). The type of support I provided ranged from being someone he could talk to through hard times (financial stressors, school stressors, the death of a friend due to gun violence, among other things he has dealt with), school support (tutoring him in physics, dropping breakfast off at his school, attending his football games), to helping him find opportunities in things he's interested in and passionate about (attending photography and graphic design events). I had a friendly relationship with X's mom and sister as well, but most of my interactions involved supporting X.

I would say the patient advocacy role is my strongest demonstration of alleviating distress. Some examples include helping patients fill out emergency rental assistance applications to avoid eviction, applying for food stamps/insurance/birth certificates/employment, contacting local resources to avoid electricity being shut off in patient homes housing medically vulnerable patients, etc.

Hope this answers your question!

Could you be more specific on how X is your patient? Or am I misreading?

Ok, your role as Patient Advocate is a non-clinical role as it fulfills social work-related responsibilities in helping others access services. I can take that as service orientation activities (and 500 hours).

Thanks! What are thoughts on the Big Ten schools like Ohio State (former OH resident), Nebraska (former NE resident), Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa, Maryland?

How long did you live in each of the other states? Where did you spend your childhood?
