Community Outreach
The UNH Department of Social Work places students in field internships with schools, hospitals, United Way, counseling agencies, and many other organizations throughout the region. Here are just a few of those community agencies:
Wentworth Douglass Hospital, Families in Transition, Casey Family Services, Community Council Center of Senior Citizens, Seacoast Mental Health Center, Arbour Counseling, Seacoast Hospice, DCYF, Familystrength, NH Public Defender, Nashua Children's Home, Gorham High School, Child & Family Services, Milford Family Guidance Center, and United Way.
In addition, our department has developed an off-campus service learning program at the McConnell Center Community Campus in nearby Dover, NH. The McConnell Center, similar to settlement houses of the 19 th and 20 th centuries, is a multi-service center that offers a range of educational, health, and human services in an accessible urban environment. In addition to the UNH Social Work Department, participating agencies include: Dover Human Services, HUB Family Services, Dover Adult Learning Center, Head Start, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).
