Community Practice Vignettes

What can you do with a community psychology degree? What type of work are community psychologists around the world doing?

The answers to these questions can be found in our collection of Practitioner Vignettes.  These profiles attempt to showcase community practice in its various forms.  We've asked practitioners to give us a glimpse at their worksites, their daily schedules, the skills they use, and the path that got them to their current careers.  Hopefully these profiles can help aspiring community psychologists better understand the world of community psychology practice.  

Check back often, as we are constantly updating our collection of vignettes:  http://www.scra27.org/practice/practice-vignettes-wiki
