Make a Difference: Explore a Career in Social Work

Thinking about a career where you can truly make an impact? Social work might be the path for you. Social workers help people through tough times, support families, and stand up for those who need a voice.

You’ll find social workers in all kinds of places including schools, hospitals, community centers, and governments. In schools, you can support kids through challenges at home or in the classroom. In family services, you can work with parents and children to help keep families together and safe. Some social workers take it a step further by shaping policies that improve lives on a bigger scale—researching new ideas, reviewing laws, and working with leaders to protect vulnerable communities.

No two days are the same in social work, and that’s part of what makes it so meaningful. If you care about people and want a career that blends heart and action, social work could be a powerful way to use your passion for good.
