Complete the Social Work Census by June 30!

May 28, 2024

The Association of Social Work Boards, in collaboration with the Social Work Workforce Coalition, launched the first-ever Social Work Census across the United States and Canada.

The census is the most comprehensive profession-wide study to date and will generate a more accurate picture of who today’s social workers are and what they are doing in their practice. Findings will help support the development of a more inclusive and equitable social work workforce and will be used in designing future competence assessments for social work licensure.

Thousands of social workers have already completed the census but the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) encourages more to do so by the June 30 deadline.

Every individual who completes the Census will be eligible to earn two hours of continuing education credit and will be invited to select from a list of charitable causes to receive a donation of $1.00. ASWB is pledging up to a total of $100,000 to support the 13 causes identified by members of the Social Work Workforce Coalition.
