About us

There are a million different experiences that can compel a person to pursue a career in social work, all of them rooted in a sense that things can be better.

It’s something you might have felt after watching neighbors stepping-up selflessly to support each other in the wake of a devastating hurricane. Maybe it was losing a friend to a fentanyl overdose on the streets of Miami. Or maybe you or someone you loved experienced discrimination that left you with a profound sense of injustice and a burning desire to make sure no one else ever has to experience that.

Turning that drive and that compassion into a profession takes a lot of heart. But it takes much more than that too. You need a college education, and that can be tough to get. You need to understand licensing laws and continuing education requirements. You need, in your own way, just as much support as the people you plan to help someday in your career as a social worker.

There’s a lot of hard work that goes into preparing to become a social worker, and you need the right team behind you to help.

Our team understands that right now is a particularly challenging time to become a social worker in Florida. So we have built a website that helps you cut through all the noise. You’ll find the resources you need right here to get the education it takes to deliver life-changing support and services to your clients across the state.

Practicing social work in Florida is an interdisciplinary job. It can stretch your knowledge of everything from the details of the Baker Act to Department of Children and Families subcontract clauses. You need to draw on a lot of different areas of expertise to manage cases and get clients the services they need.

The same is true with creating and maintaining this website. We draw on experts in graphic design, writing, editing, and research to put it all together. We dive in deep on everything from the unique social work licensing structure of the Sunshine State to the cost of attending one of Florida’s CSWE-accredited social work schools… then we go hard on turning it into a resource that’s easy to use and more up-to-date than anything else on the internet.

Dig in and see what it takes to build the career of your dreams in a field where you’ll have a chance to make life better for every client in every community you serve.
