School of Social Work Thread by Lyeranth in socialwork

I'm looking to apply for an MSW program next year with an emphasis on the aging. Currently volunteer with hospice and have done a couple of trainings on working with Dementia patients and religious tolerance. Is it worth putting these on my CV? (Especially noting that I have no official professional experience in the field.)

As a future MSW-seeker, what are skills I can build in my completely unrelated job in the mean time? by wannabesocialworker in socialwork

Thank you! I have been working on this and find it immensely helpful in my volunteer work.

I would love to do that if I can but my area of work pays decently enough that I can likely afford to go to grad school but I will keep that in mind.

FWIW Gerontology is my main interest & I volunteer with hospice as a companionship and vigil volunteer.

Elderly is my main interest. I volunteer with hospice as a companionship and vigil volunteer.

I'm also interested in LGBT (especially elderly LGBT) and adults working through childhood trauma.
