Social Work student’s internship helps lead organization to community award

Senior Belmont Social Work student, Jimmy Smith interned last fall with The Contributor, Nashville’s “street newspaper” that focuses on the issues surrounding homelessness and poverty and is sold by homeless and formerly homeless individuals on the street as an alternative to panhandling. During Jimmy’s internship, he helped nominate the organization’s volunteer Executive Director, Tasha French, for the 2009 Titans Community QB Award. French recently won the award which resulted in a $10,000 grant from Tennessee Titans owner KS “Bud” Adams Jr and the Tennessee Titans Foundation to the organization.
