Building Relationships

for Liberation

We envision a different kind of social work: one that harnesses the strength and wisdom of the community to create a more equitable world.

Our Approach

Rethink Social Work

in Practice

Our programs are where mutual transformation happens for community members and practitioners. Working relationally, one-on-one with people, sharing power, and letting people decide their own futures and direction is one way we uplift the dignity of all we serve.

Social Change

Through Teaching and Learning

Our goal is for every student who comes through our doors to leave with a formative year-long learning experience they can take with them into completing their journey in social work, and also, beyond their professional practice. It’s about an embedded, collaborative and inclusive new way of doing social work.

For Students
