Zero to three is a organization that deal with infants they up until the age of three. zerotothree.org is a website I used earlier in this course I was not able to find the careers tab but I would love to work with the parents helping the understand the process the child is going through in the early stages. This organization offers workshops and a variety of different resources to help families. If I resided in that state it would be a resource I have available to my families that I serve. Ada S McKinley is a organization that provides assistance to families for utilities and food. Annually the have a coat drive to assist the community in keeping warm. But more importantly they provide a place for children to go after school and offer them assistance with home work. As the children get ready for employment they assist in job readiness skills. I would apply for the youth intervention specialist, I come from the neighborhood and a program like this encouraged me and gave me a safe place to be on weekends. Cook County Department of children and family services is a place I though about seeking employment as a case worker dealing with children that are suffering from neglect. I feel as thought I could advocate for them as well as help mom get on track. Children suffer more than we know and to be able to be that safety net for a child is so rewarding.
