Social work learning and career development continuum

At YSocialWork, Inc., we’ll unpack the broad range of competencies not only needed to aspire you to undertake a degree in social work, but also to ensure inclusive career development and learning, which should start years prior to enrollment in post-secondary education. The core values of our approach encompasses everything from self-integrity to dignity and worth to service to social justice to the importance of healthy human relationships.

Strategic partners are critical to the success of our youth and young adults in rewarding careers in social work and entrepreneurial endeavors.

YSocialWork, Inc. is growing a wide array of impact programs that solve important problems in our professional and local community, including human service workforce shortages, youth unemployment, and housing services for youth transitioning from foster care to college.

Our goal is to find intersectionality between educational and human service improvements and then provide the best training and services to meet the needs of diverse students and the global workforce.

This year, we want to expand partnerships with corporations, government, and other nonprofits that share YSocialWork’s commitment to advancing youth and young adults in rewarding social work careers and other entrepreneurial endeavors.

“YSocialWork, Inc. is a unique opportunity for the profession to expand services, resources, and information to audiences never reached. The world is changing and we need more innovative approaches for the recruitment and retention of more youth and young adults.”
