All of these are reasons to join NASW, but there is an even more important reason to join. At its core, NASW is the unification of the profession. In unity there is strength. In unity there is support for every one of us to maintain our values in practice. And in unity there is support for every one of us maintaining our professional identity in a non-professional environment.
Membership is the bond that builds our collective strength.
Without NASW, without us together, there will be no profession. Students receive large discounts on membership dues during their time in school and through the first two years following graduation.
