Community engagement

NAU students in Social Work programs take their learning into the community

Social work, by its nature, is work within and for the community. At Northern Arizona University, we address poverty, structural racism, and oppression in at-risk communities of the southwest and beyond.

NAU students and faculty in Social Work programs contribute thousands of hours to regional agencies and nonprofit organizations annually. Find out about a few of the exciting things we’re working on.
