LMSW Field Supervisor Consultant MSW Fellow field placements

Join the "Social Workers at the Forefront" Program!

Helping schools and communities to speak their truths, amplify their voices, and advocate for personal and community transformation through shaping and sharing narratives.

This placement is an opportunity to work with Herstory Writers Network, an innovative community-based organization that uses memoir creation as a vehicle for investigating and unpacking structural issues, challenges, strengths, and opportunities in school districts, economically and racially segregated communities and the criminal legal system. We work in partnership with institutions and communities to move past statistics by bringing our workshops to their clients, students and community members to create counter-narratives of empowerment that support healing and nurture leadership for racial and social justice and systemic change.
