The Final Stretch!

I'm going all the way! The job market is tough and so is social work. In order to be the best I can be, I am pursuing the steps needed to not only have my Masters in Social Work (MSW) but also to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a focus in older adults. As one of the few gerontological social workers, I may be returing the favor and helping YOU one day.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me with costs needed for so far my MSW. With your help through GoFundMe in the past year I have maintained a 4.0 GPA, lobbied in Sacramento (2 times), was accepted to the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, recieved 1 of 10 of thier 2014 scholarships, completed a thesis on elder abuse, and received the 2014 AnneMarie Pellerito Scholarship in recognition of my work with individuals with chronic illnesses. 

As I enter the final semester before graduation (woo hoo!), I have encountered another hurdle. In order to be a LCSW, in addition to having a master's degree, there are 57 additional hours (aka credits) of pre-licensure courses that are required.

I have completed 10 credits already (yay!) but still need to complete 47 more credits. At the student discount rate of $14/credit I need $658 before the start of the series, so January 30 is the deadline to raise the money! Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated and gets me closer to my goal!
