Welcome to the NASW-Missouri Student Network

"Social advance depends as much upon the process through which
it is secured as upon the result itself." - Jane Addams

The Student Network section of the NASW website is designed specifically for social work students by social work students. The Student Network provides current and prospective students with the resources necessary to learn, achieve and prepare. It is a rich resource for those interested in finding out more about the profession of social work and those students who have already chosen social work as a career. Filled with educational resources from schools to scholarships, this area also brings the student social work population together and guides them to be active and informed about what is happening in the profession.

Student Liaison Program

Ready to get involved, build your network, and make an impact?

The National Association of Social Workers, Missouri Chapter (NASW-MO) is looking for passionate social work students from schools across Missouri to serve as Student Liaisons for the 2026–2027 academic year.

As a Student Liaison, you’ll connect your school with NASW-MO. You’ll help keep your classmates informed about NASW-MO opportunities, share important updates, encourage student involvement, and help bring social work students together around issues that matter to our profession.

One of the biggest opportunities this year is to help organize and promote NASW-MO's LEAD Event at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City. This event gives social work students the opportunity to learn about advocacy, connect with other social work students and professionals, and engage with the legislative process.

What’s in it for you?

Being a Student Liaison is a great way to:

• Build leadership experience you can add to your résumé
• Expand your professional network with social work students and professionals across Wisconsin
• Get more involved in advocacy and learn how social workers can influence policy
• Represent your school within the statewide social work community
• Connect with other students who are passionate about social work and creating change

Time Commitment

The Student Liaison group meets monthly for a one-hour Zoom meeting and the time for needed to connect with your peers and other student groups.
