Student Membership

Wondering why you should join NASW as a student member? Is it worth the investment? 

Student Membership gives you unparalleled access to your future colleagues from across the state and nation. You can connect with them in person at events, join mentoring programs, search our directory of job opportunities, and connect virtually with colleagues from across the nation via the MyNASW online community. As a member of NASW-RI, you will be able to have opportunities to take advantage of career services, build your leadership skills through member groups and committees, and develop relationships that will propel your career. Student Members also receive free social work graduation cords for your special day. 

Need more of an incentive? When you join as a student, you lock-in a transition rate post-graduation to gradually transition to the full membership rate because we understand the first few years can be financially tricky.
