Get Involved

We’re a small, lean-mean team and we are always looking for office volunteers who can help us look at data, do research, think through new marketing materials, and attend outreach events. Have a specialty you think we could benefit from? Let’s talk. We’d love to help you find a space to share your talents.

NASW-NJ has 12 units across the state of New Jersey to provide members regionally based networking and educational opportunities. Each unit has a volunteer chair and co-chair to plan and coordinate events that bring value to our members. Units are a crucial way our Chapter engages and connects members! 

Becoming a NASW New Jersey shared interest group leader can be a fulfilling opportunity for professional growth and community impact. As a leader, you'll have the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, foster collaboration, and advocate for important social work issues. This role allows you to shape the direction of the group, build valuable leadership skills, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those you serve. By leading the charge, you can contribute to the advancement of social work practice and policies, creating a positive impact on both the profession and the community.

These are one-year appointments and committees typically meet by phone or in person on a monthly basis. Committees are a great way to learn more about the internal workings of our professional organization and help shape programs and policies. You’ll be a leader in our organization. Sounds great, right?

Lead and serve our organization at the highest level! Board positions are elected by member vote and serve one to two-year appointments. Our board meets bi-monthly and is active in conversations, dialogue, and chapter governance in-between meetings. We know you have great ideas and passion—we want you to be prepared to share that with us throughout your term!
