Our Story
Our Story
For many years, Delaware School Social Workers recognized the need for a unified voice to advocate for our profession, support one another, and increase awareness of the important role school social workers play.
In July 2020, that vision became a reality when eight remarkable women came together to establish the School Social Workers Association of Delaware (SSWADE).
What began as a shared vision has grown into a statewide network committed to advocacy, professional development, connection, and support for school social workers serving Delaware’s K–12 public, charter, and private schools.
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, SSWADE is proud to continue strengthening our profession, increasing the visibility of school social workers, and advocating for the resources and recognition needed to best serve Delaware’s students, families, schools, and communities.
We are stronger together and our story continues.
