My Students
I am a School Social Worker; the district I service is high poverty and low income. As support staff, I'm looking to have a comfortable, inviting environment for them to come and express their issues and concerns. Often times, school is the student safe haven and the social work office is a valuable resource center where the students come for respite. At home, many of my students face challenging situations, varying from transitional housing to emotional or physical abuse. My services help with learning positive coping skills, increasing self-esteem and overall learning to persevere through it all.
My Project
I receive clothes from a non-profit agency due to frequent clothing requests from parents due to financial hardships or emergencies. I receive uniforms and hygiene kits that meet the students' basic needs.
I want my office space to be inviting for students, as well as parents.
Sitting in a desk still gives the student a classroom feeling and I would like for them to be comfortable enough to open up. Also, I facilitate parent conferences in my office frequently and would like the space to be warm and inviting. I would like to display visible resources to students, parents, and stakeholders.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
