I think this work is important because if a neighborhood isn’t labeled as a “good area/community” people who don’t live there don’t see it as a priority to provide the area with resources that are provided in the “good area/community”. Advocating for such things like giving every neighborhood the same opportunities and resources that other neighborhoods or people have access to is just the right thing to do.
I was undecided about what career path I wanted to go down, but starting this internship gave me even more reasons of wanting to be or along the lines of a community psychologist. So far interning with SERP I have been attending meetings both community and SERP meetings and I’ve learned that there’s a lot of work to be done from the community and the people in charge to receive the equity every neighborhood deserves.
