Research a selected local, national, or global nonprofit
organization or government agency to determine how it contributes to public
health and safety improvements, promotes equal opportunity, and improves the
quality of life within the community. Submit your findings in a 3-5 page
report.
Many organizations work to better local and global
communities’ quality of life and promote health and safety in times of crisis.
As public health and safety advocates, nurses must be cognizant of how such
organizations help certain populations. As change agents, nurses must be aware
of factors that impact the organization and the services that it offers.
Familiarity with these organizations enables the nurse to offer assistance as a
volunteer and source of referral.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you gain insight
into the mission, vision, and operations of a community services organization.
