We are the Social Service Workforce
The social service workforce includes a variety of workers — paid and unpaid, governmental and nongovernmental — who staff the social service system and contribute to the care of children, families, individuals and communities facing adversity. Our “We are the Social Service Workforce” series helps to shine a spotlight on the various tasks and training of different types of workers, as well as what motivates them to stay on the job.
