About NASW North Carolina
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the largest and most recognized membership organization of professional social workers in the world. There are more than 110,000 members in the world and more than 5,000 in North Carolina. NASW is the only organization dedicated to the entire profession of social work. NASW supports social workers – everything we do at NASW is focused on making their professional lives better. Support for social workers includes holding the profession accountable to the NASW Code of Ethics by centering anti-oppression and anti-racism as the foundation of our work. Our clients, communities, and systems will benefit from a workforce of social workers who are working to dismantle systemic oppression while having what they need like reasonable caseloads, fair compensation, and educational debt relief.

 
NASW continues to work toward these goals. Currently that looks like combating the criminalization of social work practice that is occurring through the local and state government’s attacks on bodily autonomy for pregnant people and LGBTQIA folks, taking on the social work license exam that has caused demonstrable harm to minoritized individuals, challenging our profession to address ways we engage in family policing, and addressing the need for anti-oppressive tenets to be included in all levels of social work education. NASW North Carolina strives to bring to light harms caused by social workers through the harmful systems we often work in and the profession’s alignment with white supremacy. NASW itself also must make changes and amends for the way our professional association has upheld these damaging systems which is a requirement in our pursuit of social justice.

 
NASW is a strong advocate on both the state and federal levels. In North Carolina, NASW is a member of many coalitions to address the needs of clients and is an active advocate for the needs of the profession (compensation, title protection, and educational debt relief). In addition to advocacy for the profession, NASW offers members the opportunity to excel in the profession by giving you access to cutting-edge ideas, the most up-to-date information and research and the highest-quality resources available to social workers. You can advance and protect your career with NASW membership.

 
NASW works to promote the professional development of its members, establishes and maintains professional standards of practice, advances sound social policies and provides services that protect its members and enhance their professional status. We take positions on social issues and legislation concerning social workers and social justice like abortion, the death penalty, gun control, climate change, and more.

 
Our challenges are great. NASW North Carolina is actively working on issues impacting social work and social justice like criminalization of ethical practice through abortion and gender-affirming care bans, workforce shortages, widespread burnout and moral injury in our field. NASW is a large institution– and working within a system does not align with everyone’s theory of change– but if you could see yourself or someone you know that’s right for NASW North Carolina, please apply.
