Graduate School of Social Work
Organizational Leadership & Policy Practice
The Organizational Leadership & Policy Practice concentration prepares you to work at community, organizational and societal levels.
You'll work to build the capacity of communities, organizations and policy-makers to advance human rights, social justice and the well-being of all peoples. You'll learn to use leadership skills to develop programs, administer organizations, build community coalitions, craft and analyze social policy, advocate for policy and program change, and implement program and policy research to support best practices for social services delivery.
Your field internship will be in a community-based setting or organization that addresses social problems and policy issues such as poverty, women's rights, health care, homelessness and education.
