You.
You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a School Social Worker.
You know when to move quickly. When to sit quietly. When to laugh loudly.
You effectively use your compassion, empathy, respect, and authenticity to form genuine, trusting relationships with your clients.
You’re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.
