This June and all year long, we celebrate our LGTBQIA2S+ social work community. NASW wishes all LGBTQIA2S+ social workers, advocates, and allies a happy Pride Month! We’re proud to work alongside you for a more just and more inclusive world that honors, uplifts, and celebrates our diverse and intersecting identities, as well as the stories and contributions of LGBTQIA2S+ individuals.
Michigan LGTBQIA2S+ social workers have long been the leaders in expanding civil rights and expanding access to services across our state and nationally. Today, our LGTBQIA2S+ social workers continue to develop new resources, provide critical mental health care, advocate for clients, and rally for more inclusive policies at the organizational, local, state, and federal levels.
Each summer, thousands of Michiganders from across the state joyfully celebrate all of the beautiful identities of our LGBTQ+ community. Pride events (from rallies, to parades, to picnics, to festivals) create spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals and their family and friends can bring their whole selves to celebrate, advocate and march in the streets and declare: We are here. We are visible. We are proud!
NASW-Michigan’s LGBTQ+ Social Work Committee is seeking volunteers to help us participate in and support 7 Pride events across the state starting in June. Volunteers should be available for a couple of hours during the event time and will be asked to be present at the NASW-Michigan vendor booth to hand out goodies, answer questions about social work and social work services, and to celebrate, advocate, and represent the profession proudly! All materials will be provided by NASW-Michigan.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete this short form.
