  - Have you completed SOWK 270: Introduction to Social Work and want to give back to the program? We are seeking student volunteers to serve as role-play actors for upcoming class activities.
  - As a role-play actor, you will step into the role of a “client” in structured scenarios that mirror real-world social work dilemmas. Your participation will give current students the chance to practice empathy, communication, and ethical decision-making in a realistic setting.
  - Why participate?
    - Strengthen your own social work skills through experiential learning.
    - Contribute to the success of your peers by helping them learn in a safe, supportive environment.
    - Participation counts as a Social Work Activity.
  - No acting experience needed—prompts and guidance will be provided.
  - If you’re interested in assisting, please sign up using the link.
