It was spectacular to learn that Keystone Community Services is a non-profit organization. The funding sources and mission of Keystone Community Services was intriguing and powerful to see an organization that strives to improve a quality of life. In addition, it was amazing to learn about the multi-services program provided under Keystone Community Services. However, I reconsidered and would like to point a change in the organizations. As I understand not only do Keystone Community Services own community reach out, but other nearby communities reach out Keystone assistances. It will be great to see Keystone Community Services make a change and expand their serving into other geographic areas. All in all, I think that if I was to have an opportunity to work with Keystone Community Services I would love to be a part of this awesome organization. The organization and mission are a high-functioning organization that appreciates its distinct role in the community, a community that I would enjoy exploring my social work

But, I also can tell by reading the case study that there are quite a few sections in each mission that this community does provide for. Which means that there is a lot of responsibilities on whoever is over that specific section of the community. When I mean or talk about section I mean there are four specific section such as: The Elder Program, The Afterschool Program, The Day Care Program, and Music Program. In my opinion that is a lot of section for one community to be in charge over. Those are four big sections of these community which needs a lot of work to provide those three programs to run smoothly.
