As a member of NASW-NC and an NASW Student Liaison, I have taken full advantage of the NASW Career Center, to help guide me through chosen certification and build upon skills needed in the current career market.

NASW-NC has taught me that my voice, my vote and my investment matters. LaKeysha M. Sawyer, BSW - MSW class of 2016
NASW has provided me with opportunities for advocacy, networking, and leadership development. As a student member, I have received advice for how to improve my resume for social work jobs, attended conferences, participated in advocacy events at our legislative building, and received advice on how to proceed when I encounter harmful policies or inaccurate statements in the press.

These benefits have improved my knowledge of what it means to be a social worker and they have increased my confidence as a social worker and as a social advocate.

Joining NASW has molded me into a leader and a mindful professional, and provides me with confidence in my social work profession, knowing that NASW advocates for me and social workers all around the world for pay increases, tuition reimbursement and protection for our future profession.

NASW is the backbone of the social work profession, and by supporting them with a student membership, I am providing a promise to my future career as a social worker. Jordan Holley, MSW, and former BSW Student Member, NASW National Board of Directors
