Human & Community Service at Lenoir-Rhyne University

HCS RELATED

The Human and Community Service major provides graduates with knowledge, skills and experiences to prepare them for working in the human service professions. Students are educated to work with individuals, individuals in small groups (such as families) and individuals needing help in other groups (work organizations, for example) and with community organizations to accomplish more structural or systemic (social, economic, political, recreational, etc.) goals.

"Human services worker" is a term for people who hold professional and paraprofessional jobs in such diverse settings as churches; group homes and halfway houses; correctional, mental retardation, and community mental health centers; family, child, and youth service agencies, and programs concerned with alcoholism, drug abuse, family violence, and aging. Depending on the employment setting and the kinds of clients served there, job titles and duties vary a great deal.
