The Latino Social Workers Organization is a progressive social work organization. The LSWO  is a leader in the development of recruitment and retention strategies over the last 10 years. For the past 8 years, the LSWO has focused on cultural competency / responsiveness training. The LSWO has provided "La Familia" Perspective trainings at George Warren Brown School of Social Work, New York University, and University of Wisconsin-Madison SSW, and the University of Chicago SSA, and other schools.  The LSWO can be helpful to Schools of Social Work in their recruitment strategies, and or mentoring their students and alumni.

With the increase of Latinos throughout the United States and Canada, the LSWO serves as a key resource for public, non-profit, and private institutions.

Our yearly conference is in June of each year.  Join us at the LSWO Conference in Chicago-June 13-15, 2007.
