During National Professional Social Workers’ Month, let’s honor the social workers who are so critical to our public interest law community in Philadelphia. The public interest law offices in Philadelphia work closely with our social work staff to provide counseling, case management, program management, and a myriad of other services critical to our work. At Juvenile Law Center, social work staff are also important partners in our policy reform efforts. During the public health crisis posed by the coronavirus, our social workers’ expertise is especially critical as we develop disaster office operation plans and maintain our commitment to serve the people who will be most affected by this crisis.

At Juvenile Law Center, we have two MSW-level social workers who manage our youth advocacy program and are critical to our policy work in many project areas. Each year, our youth advocacy program hires youth with experience in the foster care system and the justice system to work with us for one to three years on annual projects to reform the systems that have had such a profound impact on their lives. Our social workers manage all this work, contributing to our reform work in the child welfare and justice systems here in Philadelphia and around the country.
