Social Workers - Very Special People

In celebrating National Professional Social Work Month, we'd like to encourage you to get out and volunteer for an organization of your choice, sign up for a charity walk, and actively get your family and friends involved in the work you do. Speak positively of the experiences you have as a social worker, mentor another social worker (click HERE), and join the groups that you've been talking about getting involved with for months or years. Explain the concept of social justice to someone you know.

In addition to getting involved passionately this month, also take some time to honor yourself. In working here at NASW-NJ, this social work blogger has met many exceptional NASW-NJ members. Our membership includes people who have met with Dr. Martin Luther King, worked for DYFS for more than 20 years, held vigils at dentention centers, risked arrest, run for office, changed laws, started programs without staff or money, and the list goes on and on. It's truly awe-inspiring.

We invite you to take a seat at the table and learn more about the many ways (50 of them) that others use their social work degrees. Click Here!

Happy Social Work Month NASW-NJ Members!
