Building a New Future for Child Welfare, One Human at a Time

As in nearly all fields, digital tools of all stripes are now standard-issue in the world of social work and child welfare. But even as such tools offer tantalizing new efficiencies, they are in many ways a poor fit for the uncertainties and gray areas that make up the  challenging reality of child welfare services.

This pivotal program provides critical education and support to undergraduate and graduate social work students committed to careers in public child welfare.
