If you haven’t already heard about the National Association of Social Workers, NASW, you will as the summer progresses. It is the one organization that advocates for our clients as well as ourselves as social workers. There are over 145,000 NASW members across the US.
When you join as a student, your membership fee is $57. After you graduate, you pay an increased (but still reduced) rate for three years. Regular membership is $225/year. Therefore, if you join as a student you get quite a bargain!
But what if you're not planning on staying in Mass? This is not a problem. When you join, you can pick which State Chapter you want to join, as there is a Chapter in each state and US. Territory.
You can easily join online.
If you have any questions, you can contact our Western Mass. Coordinator, Jeff Schrenzel, via email at jschrenz@wne.edu. We hope you become a member this summer.
