Dr. Ramona Roberts, LP, CCTP-II, CCS, CET on LinkedIn: SOS Intern Description (2025)

You are looking at a proud law student about to intern this summer at Advancement Project! Advancement Project is a civil rights organization that utilizes a movement-lawyering and community-centered racial justice approach to support grassroots movements in communities of color across the country. I will work in their 3 focus areas: - Power & Democracy Program: to protect our right to vote and ensure that voting is free, fair, accessible, and inclusive. - Justice Project: challenges systems of policing, incarceration, and criminalization.- Opportunity to Learn Program: examines, exposes and reforms practices that lead to the criminalization of students and challenges the privatization of public education.I am THRILLED to be participating in their vision of "a future where people of color are free – where they can thrive, be safe and exercise power." {Alt text describes this photo, which I took immediately after my interview. I had no sense of whether I would be offered the internship, but I wanted to solidify my absolute joy at the privilege of connecting with a dream organization!} #RacialJustice #CivilRights #VotingRights #JusticeForAll

The inherent curiosity to know something special led me to learn about the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Then I had an idea to turn it into a post.#legaleducation #opentowork #legalinternship #governmentagencies

Thoughts from an Assistant Professor/Director of Practicum and Internship, aka Field Education: If you're a #socialwork educator, you know how important it is to treat your students with dignity and respect. It's not just about teaching them how to become the best social workers out there but also about modeling the same behavior in and out of the classroom. How we treat our students can significantly impact how many of them enter the social work profession, stay in it, and ultimately go on to help others in need.Sadly, some social work educators don't always follow the code of ethics or take responsibility for treating their students and clients. If you're feeling burnt out, dealing with compassion fatigue, or struggling with secondary trauma, please don't hesitate to seek help. Whether it's therapy, taking a sabbatical from academia, or simply taking some time to practice self-care, it's essential to prioritize your well-being to continue to be the best educator you can be. #assistantprofessor #directoroffieldeducator #empoweringsocialworkers #cswe #nasw #socialwork #socialworkers #socialworkmonth #toxicleadership #toxicworkplace #codeofconduct #codeofethics #highereducation #compassionfatigue #burnout

Nonviolent action is a powerful technique that allows individuals to fight against injustice without resorting to violence. It is not a way to avoid conflict, but rather a way to confront it without compromising one's values. Civil disobedience, a form of nonviolent action, involves the refusal to obey certain laws or orders of the government. When practiced peacefully, civil disobedience can be a powerful tool for change. Let us strive for nonviolent solutions to conflict and work towards a more just society. #nonviolentaction #civildisobedience #peacefulprotests #socialjustice #Gandhijayanti_2023PRsons Group #joinWithUs WeAreHiring Internship #withPreplacementTraining#LiveCodingSession📌👨💻🎓🎯
