Welcome to the Pennsylvania Association of School Social Work Personnel.  As school social workers, home and school visitors, and other critical support staff serving Pennsylvania's school-age children, you know and understand the value of making connections.  You make connections with students, their families, staff in your local schools and districts, community agencies, and other people and organizations that can help Pennsylvania's children reach their full academic potential.  All of those connections are important to the work you do every day.  But how about connections with each other??  Networking is important work in our field, and PASSWP is committed to providing you with opportunities to expand your professional networks--through conferences, regional trainings, and even through this website. 

As a member, you will be able to access our Membership Database and find colleagues that can help you with a question or make a connection.  You will also have access to up-to-date information about developments in the field that impact your work. 

Please feel free to share your thoughts or feedback about our website or PASSWP initiatives--we strive to provide our members with education and training that meets the evolving needs of our field, and networking opportunities that allow you to expand your practice.  We hope the experience of this website and all that PASSWP has to offer enriches your professional experiences.

Thank you for being a part of PASSWP.
