As progress is made on the Community Teaching Project, update this form indicating the date(s) each section is completed. This form will be submitted in Topic 5.
In this topic, students will be selecting, researching, and assessing a nonprofit community setting in their community using one of the following four topics:
- Primary prevention/health promotion
- Secondary prevention/screening for a vulnerable population
- Disaster planning
- Environmental issues
The following are considered appropriate nonprofit community organization settings:
- Public health clinic
- Community health center
- University/school health center
- Religious community (i.e., local church)
- Community center (i.e., YMCA)
- Adult/childcare center
- Youth development organization (i.e., 4-H, scout troops, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.)
- Senior centers
- Food pantries (St. Mary’s Food bank, St. Vincent De Paul, etc.)
- Community shelters (i.e., women’s shelter, women and children’s shelter, or homeless shelters)
