Abstract:

The goal of Diverse Careers in Community Psychology is to (1) highlight the diversity of career options for someone with community psychology training; (2) provide details about the different types of careers (e.g., tasks involved, benefits and challenges, salary range, and so on); and (3) list the steps one can take to develop skills and position oneself for such a career. This text provides a better understanding of the diverse career options available for people who train in community psychology (CP), and how the CP competencies are put into practice across the full spectrum of job titles and career paths that a community psychologist might follow. The book includes 23 chapters authored by 30 different community psychologists with various backgrounds, interests, and areas of expertise, who provide examples of what it is like to work in their settings. The book also includes a summary of a first-of-its-kind career survey of over four hundred individuals in the field. It is our hope that this text will help current, prospective, and former students in community psychology and related fields, as well as professionals interested in expanding or changing their careers, to find an ideal career path.

Abstract:

In this chapter, the author shares the impact that community psychology has had on her professional life over the last 23 years and how its principles are embedded through her varied career experiences. She explains how her mentors, both community psychologists and their community of scholars, along with her many years of collaboration, transformed her from a special education teacher into a community psychologist. The chapter outlines how the principles of CP helped the author influence large institutions and government agencies to make systemic changes. Community psychology principles most relevant to the author’s career experience have been participatory action research, evaluation, and a deep understanding of community, broadly defined.

Abstract:

Community psychologists typically work in various settings, such as universities, community-based organizations, and/or as independent consultants. This chapter describes the experiences of one community psychologist who found a niche within a community college, including some material on his transition from graduate school to community college faculty and progression to tenured professor. This chapter describes how some community psychology values and competencies (i.e., human diversity, advocacy, mentorship, community-building) are practiced in this unique setting.

Abstract:

Positive evolutionary psychology is essentially the use of evolutionary psychological principles and research to help advance the goals associated with positive psychology. Positive psychologists focus on ways that we can advance the lives of individuals and communities by focusing on factors that increase positive outcomes such as life satisfaction and happiness. Evolutionary psychology uses the principles of evolution, based on Darwin’s understanding of life, to help shed light on any and all kinds of psychological phenomena. Positive evolutionary psychology, thus, is the use of Darwin’s big idea to help people and communities experience more positive and fulfilling lives. Across 11 chapters, this book (a) describes the basic ideas of both evolutionary and positive psychology; (b) elaborates on the integration of these two fields as a way to help advance the human condition; (c) discusses several domains of human functioning from the perspective of positive evolutionary psychology; and (d) looks with an eye toward the future of work in this field. Over the past few decades, evolutionary psychologists have begun to crack the code on such phenomena as happiness, gratitude, resilience, community, and love. This book describes these facets of the human experience in terms of both (a) their evolutionary origins and (b) how we might guide people to optimally experience such positive phenomena in their everyday lives.

Abstract:

There are numerous leadership opportunities and a great need for more effective leadership in the nonprofit sector. While community leadership is one of the 18 community psychology competencies, it is rarely addressed by community psychologists or taught in community psychology graduate education programs. In this chapter, a framework and rationale for community leadership is provided along with ideas and encouragement for community psychologists to become more intentional in using a community leadership framework. Principles for effectively working with and within nonprofits are provided along with the qualities needed for effective leadership. Community psychology students are motivated to work in the nonprofit sector because they care deeply about the social justice and health issues addressed by these organizations, so we included ideas for how students could develop a leadership framework and pursue experience with nonprofits as part of their education. Working with the assumption that all community psychology activity should have empowerment as one of its outcomes, a community leadership framework ensures giving voice to nonprofit staff and those they serve.

Abstract:

Grant writing is an important component of a community psychologist’s career, whether in academia or independent practice. Getting funds to support research projects, secure contracts or to assist community agencies in expanding or continuing programs and services is a critical skill. This chapter discusses the roles of grant writing in community psychologists’ careers, the main types of grants available, the main sources of grant funding, basic principles of proposal writing, and some ethical considerations about grant writing. The authors also explain 12 basic principles of proposal writing in some detail in order to inform the readers of the main components of the process. The authors recommend that graduate programs in community psychology should consider a grant writing class where students can have the experience of grant writing, perhaps as a service to local agencies.

Abstract:

The search for a community practice-oriented job can be at once exciting and overwhelming, especially if it is your first job out of graduate school. Because the skill set and perspective of a community psychologist can be applied in a growing number of applied settings, the largest challenge is not in finding job opportunities outside of academia but rather in selling yourself in a non–community psychology world. Creativity and flexibility during the job search will prove to be valuable in identifying organizations and positions with roles that can be filled successfully by community psychologists. After identifying organizations and positions that align with your interests, it is vital to translate your competencies, experience, and values to match the job description and organization, and to demonstrate your ability to work with colleagues from different backgrounds. This chapter highlights aspects of the job search that are unique for practice (in contrast to academic) jobs, with the goal of serving as a resource for individuals as they begin to think about potential careers in community psychology practice.

Abstract:

Community psychologists may find an appealing career in higher education administration due to the societal importance of higher education, inequalities in access and graduation gap of underrepresented groups, and the need for developing preventative and service programing aimed at improving educational outcomes. The focus of this chapter is on inequality in education through the lens of community psychologists working as university staff members. The authors also share their experiences working in higher education and argue that community psychology training fits very well with the required skills and expected responsibilities for higher education management and administration.

Abstract:

As a psychologist working in an academic setting in Nigeria, the author had the opportunity to develop a variety of social research and action projects both within the university setting and in the surrounding community. In addition, her participation in starting a new private university and implementing educational reformation has given the author the platform to practice community principles. There are challenges to international community psychology development work in Nigeria that include her reintegration into the Nigerian cultural system and recognition of the dynamics in operation and provision of relevant interventions. This chapter presents the reader with the author’s path to doing community psychology in Nigeria and offers suggestions and lessons learned for readers interested in doing international work.

Abstract:

This chapter describes the author’s career history that led up to her decision to create her own job as a solo community psychology practitioner—what she likes and does not like about being on her own, as well as the benefits of her community psychology training and the skills and experiences that have led to her success. The chapter also offers some guidance and cautions for community psychologists who may be interested in developing a solo consulting practice.
