Capstone Project Part I: The Fundamentals

THE ORGANIZATION I HAVE SELECTED

The Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS) is responsible for welfare and employment support, protecting children, foster care and other services to strengthen families (Georgia.gov). The agency for which I will develop my strategic plan will be with the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFACS). It is a regional agency and I selected for my capstone because it is my desire to affect change in the area of child abuse and neglect. This is an area of familiarity, as I have had the opportunity to volunteer at one of their offices while stationed in Georgia.

My strategic plan will be developed from the perspective of social change. I chose to focus on this perspective for my strategic plan because there is always room for improvement and to also continually lower the percentage of child maltreatment that occurs in the state of Georgia. This agency investigates reports of child abuse; finds foster and adoptive homes for abused and neglected children.
