Uplift in the Mental Health of our Communities. Invest in the Next Generation of Social Workers. Honor Our Heritage.
This fall, the Latino Social Work Coalition and Scholarship Fund is commemorating 25 years of strengthening the social work profession and creating pathways for Latino and diverse leaders in mental health, advocacy, leadership, and beyond.
​
Join us for a powerful evening filled with inspiration, recognition, and collective joy. Together, we’ll honor those advancing culturally responsive care and continue building a future where our communities are seen, supported, and served.
WHY YOUR SPONSORSHIP MATTERS
