Gain hands-on experience through
Practicum
Program

Through partnerships with various local and international colleges and universities, Frog Hollow offers practicum opportunities for students pursuing diverse academic backgrounds, primarily in fields such as social work, social services, social policy, nursing and more.


We aspire to offer students practical experience within a community setting, enhancing their understanding of social work, social services, social policy, and related fields. Through immersing themselves in a dynamic environment, students gain real-world experience, nurturing their personal and professional growth while contributing to the vibrancy of the local community.


Practicum students are immersed in the day-to-day activities of Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House, engaging with a wide range of population groups spanning across the age spectrum. From infants to families, newcomers to seniors, students gain exposure to real-world scenarios and challenges that help them develop practical problem-solving skills and cultural competency.


Qualities we seek in students: self-initiative, independence, enthusiasm for learning through observation and active participation in a community setting, ability to appreciate the value of diverse experiences, adaptability to a dynamic, fast-paced, and multicultural environment, openness to to understanding work culture in Neighbourhood Houses (NHs), and a willingness to engage in hands-on activities. These activities may include tasks such as making coffee, setting up tables, and moving carpets, among others.
