Mission Statement:  The Latino (or Latin American/Latinx/Latine) Social Workers Affinity Group of the NASW-MD Chapter is dedicated to fostering a supportive and empowering network for Latino/a social workers in Maryland. Our mission is to bring together professionals who identify as Latino/a to uplift and strengthen each other while advancing the social work profession. We are committed to identifying and addressing key issues where the Latino community in Maryland remains underrepresented, advocating for increased representation within the field of social work, and ensuring that Latino/a voices are heard in both policy and practice. Through collaboration, mentorship, and advocacy, we aim to enhance the impact of social work on Maryland residents, promote the inclusion of Latino/a perspectives, and elevate the profession to better serve our diverse communities. Together, we work to create a more inclusive, equitable, and effective social work practice in Maryland.
