Jennifer Schugam, who had her placement in 2001-02, is founding executive director of Feeding the People, a grassroots organization providing home-delivered meals, nutrition education, and ongoing support for low-income diabetics in Baltimore. She says that "as a social worker providing in-home mental health services for the chronically mentally ill, I have personally witnessed the devastating effects of diabetes on low-income people. I believe that Feeding the People will save lives."
Schugam also serves as an outreach worker for Main Street Mobile Treatment Associates in Northwest Baltimore and credits the SWCOS experience for her career path.
"My work has grown out of my placement. I got hands-on experience that enabled me to see what the community looks and feels like."
