NASW volunteers get the job done
NASW relies on the dedication and hard work of volunteers throughout the year. Without the time and effort of these members, NASW’s programming, member resources, and awards, grants and mentorship opportunities wouldn’t exist. In 2019, more than 300 volunteers served on 13 active committees, in addition to the volunteer Board. We’ve highlighted some of their accomplishments below.
