Payments4Placements at SDSU. Social Work students for paid field placements

[USC Social Work @uscsocialwork]

A critical move toward recognizing the value of social workers to our society. Thank you, Governor Newsom and California State Legislature.

Literally this. ⬇️

Our wins: Congress, the White House, and the State Department.

What’s next? The rest of the Federal Government and every other sector including the nonprofit, local government, media, sports and entertainment world.

[Guillermo @GuillermoCJr]

This stuff doesn’t happen overnight.

@CarlosAngeles25 and I started this org and we were constantly told no. But we persisted.

We were not the typical founders.

In 5 years:
Senate: Paid ✅
House: Paid ✅
State Dept: Paid ✅
White House: Paid ✅

Let’s talk about the #1 School of Social Work!

Check out data from our most recent financial security survey! Worrying about finances is the norm for our student body—but it shouldn’t be!

[Pay Our Interns @payourinterns]

In much better news:

We had a great meeting with @P4PUofM and the #SDSU and #NY branches. We're so glad we're helping support the P4P mission!

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

Working students may be hesitant to leave long-term jobs for one-time internships.

According to our #HigherEd expert, colleges and employers need to cover the full cost of an internship to benefit underrepresented groups.

Will I Get Paid for My Social Work Internship or Practicum? Placement agencies do not pay students for their work. Additionally, students are responsible for their transportation and costs to and from the internship site, attending 16 hours/week. #p4pcsuf #socialworker #msw

[Urban Alliance @UrbanAlliance]

Every year, approx. 3.28 million college students participate in an internship, but 30.8-58.1 percent of internships are unpaid. A recent @CCWT_UWMadison brief connects the dots between unpaid internships and inequality.

[UCWGA @UCWGA3265]

This is unacceptable! Unpaid internships and placements disadvantage low-income students and condition workers to accept future unpaid labor expectations. Solidarity to @UGAP4P fighting for an end to this exploitative practice! #FairWagesForAll

[Payment for Placements UGA @UGAP4P]

37% of students have considered leaving UGA’s Social Work program as a result of their unpaid field work

[Pay Our Interns @payourinterns]

Things we're reading this afternoon:

This report released TODAY from @ucdavis on students who study human rights, being unable to take on internships without financial assistance.

We 100% need to expand equitable access to paid internships.

Once I’m fully licensed and my private practice is up and running; my next step will be to hire and mentor paid interns. I have a wealth of information to share as it relates to navigating this profession. You can absolutely be passionate and paid.

[Juni Juice @juni_juice]

Tired of the unpaid vs paid internship debate on LinkedIn every other day... Just pay your interns. Unpaid internships are exploitive and unethical, period.

[Pay Our Interns @payourinterns]

📣📣 It's official. Thanks to POI's advocacy and partner support, for the first time in history, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) is launching an EOP-wide paid internship program! 📣📣

Applications close on 05/02, so please apply quickly!

I would love to see this at all universities. SW Interns often have to get additional employment plus full time school schedule to afford to live. It’s literally hundreds of hours of service from thousands of UNPAID students!

[Shimon Cohen @ShimonDCohen]

The relentless efforts of these students could set a national precedent!!! #paidinternships #socialwork #SocialWorkTwitter
