Intervention with Individuals and Small Group Papers
Introduction: The description of the program, I performed my internship in working with individuals and small groups: Career Family Opportunity takes a comprehensive and personalized approach. The program recognize each person brings a unique set of experiences, accomplishments, needs, and challenges to his or her journey to economic self-sufficiency. Program participants map out their individual education, career, and financial goals. Along the way, the program provides ongoing support and financial incentives and connects participants to the resources and professional help they need.

Career Family Opportunity (CFO) is an innovative pilot program developed by CWU to provide intensive supportive services over 60 months to a small number of low-income subsidized housing residents to assist in their journey towards economic independence. CFO was built on the premise that getting out of poverty is a process where one has to maximize decision making and optimize the resources and knowledge around a variety of factors, such as family stabilization and supports, education and training, financial literacy and knowledge, career literacy and knowledge, etc. CWU also acknowledges the pathway from poverty to economic independence is an individual pathway with a unique set of barriers and challenges as well as opportunities and strengths. Therefore, CFO offers participants peer support, group training and education, as well as intensive individual mentoring to navigate the complex pathways
