NASW-South Dakota and Nebraska Chapters

Social Work Month Celebration 2025! What a night of celebrating each other and the powerful impact of social work—from students just beginning their journey to retired social workers who’ve paved the way! For every life you touch, every system you challenge, and every policy you help push forward, your work matters. Let’s keep building communities where everyone is seen, valued, and supported. Let’s continue caring for one another and creating the just, hopeful future we know is possible. Happy Social Work Month!

March is Social Work Month! Thank you to Nebraska Wesleyan Students, Taylor and Skye, and NASW-NE Board Members for attending the Proclamation Signing Ceremony with the Govenor.
