2. CheckPoint: Researching Human Service Agencies One of the best ways to learn about how various human service organizations meet human needs is to research and study agencies within your city or state.
Resources: Appendixes B, C, and G
Due Date: Day 3 [Individual forum]
Compile a list of the human service agencies in your city or state.
Choose two agencies from your list. Research and study the available information for each agency, obtained from the agency’s Web site or other credible Internet sources. Search for information about how the agency determines needs and the demographic it serves. Refer to Appendix C for tips on where to find this information and Appendix G for other suggested Web sites.
Compare and contrast the information you found for each agency, then answer the following questions in 200 to 300 words:
o What needs does each agency meet and what demographic does each agency serve? What or who may have influenced the agency’s decision to meet the needs of this demographic group?
o What differences have you observed between the ways the two agencies attempt to meet human needs?
o How successful is each agency in meeting the needs of its demographic group? What challenges may be preventing the agencies from meeting certain needs?

To compile a list of human service agencies in your city or state, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by exploring Appendixes B, C, and G provided as resources for your assignment. These appendixes may contain information or resources that can guide you in finding human service agencies.
2. Utilize the internet to search for human service agencies in your city or state. You can start by typing in keywords such as "human service agencies in [your city or state]." This will provide you with a list of agencies operating in your area.
3. Visit the websites of these agencies to gather information. Agency websites often provide details about their mission, services, and the demographics they cater to. Try to find information on how they determine needs and who they serve.
Once you have compiled a list of agencies, choose two of them for further research. To gather information about these agencies, follow these steps:
1. Begin by visiting the agency's website. Most agencies have a website where they provide information about their programs, services, and the population they serve.
2. Look for specific pages or sections on their website that outline their mission and services. Pay attention to any information they provide on how they determine needs and the demographic they aim to serve.
3. Explore credible internet sources beyond the agency's website. This could include official reports, news articles, or research publications. These sources might provide insights into the agency's approach and effectiveness in meeting needs.
After conducting your research, you can compare and contrast the information you found for each agency and answer the provided questions. Make sure your response is between 200 to 300 words.
1. Start by discussing the needs each agency meets and the demographic it serves. Search for information on the agency's website or other credible sources that details how the agency addresses the needs of a specific group and what influenced their decision to focus on that demographic. Look for information on the agency's mission, target population, and any partnerships or collaborations they have with other organizations.
2. Identify and describe the differences in the approaches the two agencies take to meet human needs. This can include differences in services provided, strategies implemented, or resources utilized. Point out any unique programs or initiatives that one agency might offer compared to the other.
3. Evaluate the success of each agency in meeting the needs of its demographic group. Look for evidence or statistics that demonstrate the impact of their services on the target population. Discuss any challenges or obstacles that might hinder the agencies from fully meeting certain needs, such as limited funding, inadequate resources, or societal barriers.
Remember to cite your sources appropriately and provide accurate information throughout your assignment.
