TEEM social workers help students overcome barriers that keep them from finding and keeping a job. Without transportation, appropriate clothing, childcare or identification finding a job can be next to impossible, but our team of social workers meet with each student to find solutions to these inhibiting issues. They conduct individual assessments to determine the various needs. Once the needs are identified, they are systematically eliminated through a process of direct action and referral assistance. Our social services are catalyst for helping many of our students find meaningful employment.  Our social workers are excellent stewards of the donations we receive, and they work with other community resources to eliminate the duplication of services to maximize TEEM dollars.

The Social Workers also provide opportunities for various colleges and universities by facilitating practicum setting for degree requirements. Over the past five years, TEEM has averaged three BSW interns from the University of Oklahoma School of Social Work per scholastic year.
