Advocacy Outside the Field Placement

The College of Social Work at The Ohio State University requires all students to complete human rights activities (HRA) each semester you are enrolled in field education. The purpose of HRA is to engage you in advocacy outside of the field placement, as well as to allow you the opportunity to provide volunteer services to those most in need. When we talk about advocacy, we mean advocacy on a macro level addressing issues for entire populations. When we talk about volunteering, we mean working on a more individual level to help individuals in need.

For detailed information about hour requirements and approved activities, you can view our Human Rights Activities Policy. To get a better idea of what we mean by “human rights,” you can view the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 

If you have any questions about HRAs, please contact your field liaison. If you are an agency and you’d like to submit an HRA, please complete the form.
