Our Ministries
CSWSC is carrying out it's mission through connection, education, and fellowship. Please see below for the many opportunities provided by our organization.
CSWSC is a grassroots, volunteer-run, national organization founded in the Fall of 2022. We remain true to Church teaching, following the guidance of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC).
01
For Students
-
Ask to be considered to present at a forum, or co-present with a professor or professional Catholic social worker.
-
Attend a Presentation or Informal Student Forums - short presentation on a Catholic social work topic followed by q & a and open discussion. These are the events historically put on by CSWSC. You can email a topic for discussion ahead of time if you like.
-
Join our Panel Events: 3 speakers, time allotted for presentations is longer, then open discussion (similar to the forum).
-
Attend the Catholic Social Work Month Student Celebration - while it is challenging to be a Catholic social work student, this is the “all positive moments” CSWSC event of the year for social work month.

-
Volunteer to be on the CSWSC “informational interview” list. You would be expressing an openness to sharing what you do as a social worker and your integration of faith in an “interview” by a Catholic social work student. This would help Catholic social work students find their path.
