CheckPoint: Researching
Human Service Agencies One of the best ways to learn about how various human
service organizations meet human needs is to research and study agencies within
your city or state.
Resources: Appendixes B,
C, and G
Due Date: Day 3 [Individual
forum]
Compile a list of the
human service agencies in your city or state.
Choose two agencies
from your list. Research and study the available information for each agency,
obtained from the agency’s Web site or other credible Internet sources. Search
for information about how the agency determines needs and the demographic it
serves. Refer to Appendix C for tips on where to find this information and
Appendix G for other suggested Web sites.
Compare and
contrast the
information you found for each agency, then answer the following questions in
200 to 300 words:
What needs does each agency meet and
what demographic does each agency serve? What or who may have influenced the
agency’s decision to meet the needs of this demographic group?
What differences have you observed
between the ways the two agencies attempt to meet human needs?
How successful
is each agency in meeting the needs of its demographic group? What challenges
may be preventing the agencies from meeting certain needs?
