DSNI

In the Dudley Street Initiative we see plenty of leadership, participation, cooperation and hard work from people in the community. They seen a problem that they can all relate to and wanted to make a change. Many of the readings we do all have to do with how change is sparked or influenced. It all starts with a community common interest and it goes from there. I cant say I am just learning this because these are the basics of what a social worker does plus this is what we are doing in our class on our smaller level. We have people that are taking lead roles and tell who what to do while we all come together and brainstorm. In this documentary and the Saul Alinsky Documentaries what stands out to the most is the fact that people in the community themselves say this is an issue and we have to do something about it. Everyday people are the ones who are taking charge before it goes to a higher level.
