Inspired by our Founder's life journey, Warrick Dunn Charities, Inc. (WDC) empowers families to break the cycle of generational poverty and achieve a better quality of life for all.
Actively serving all age demographics and ethnicities, Warrick Dunn Charities has expanded from our flagship Homes for the Holidays program into four additional programs: Count on Your Future, SCULPT, Hearts for Community Service Scholarships, and Betty’s Hope. Together, our five programs are dedicated to strengthening and transforming communities by combating poverty, hunger, and improving the quality of lives for families academically, socially, and economically.
The role of the Social Work Intern at WDC is to use prior knowledge and current classroom concepts to connect the organization directly to populations and communities in
need and implement curriculum.
