Find out about some of the exciting things we are doing. Flagstaff Quality Connections partnership: Flagstaff BSW seniors partnered with a local organization, Quality Connections, to fundraise for critical program activities. The event was incredibly successful with all different clothing articles being distributed, including casual wear, winter wear, professional wear, and accessories.
Many colleges and campus locations were happy to act as distribution centers for the day and several bathrooms were redesignated to be gender inclusive. Results included a significant need for safety equipment and comfort items. Our local farmworker population is consistently lacking bandanas, hats, and supportive socks. Social work students raised community awareness and collaborated with local agricultural companies to raise enough funds to purchase an extra pair of compression socks for over 2, farmworkers.
BSW students identified literacy and lack of access to books as a significant need. Through book drives and collaboration with local libraries, students were able to raise enough money and book donations to host a community event. Students worked with the families to make personalized book marks and distributed over books to the children and families in the community.
