HISTORY
ASWIS History
Established in 2015, the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports raises awareness of the ways in which social work practice can partner with and contribute to all levels and all segments of sports. ASWIS promotes a social worker in sports perspective that is grounded in social and economic justice, strength-based approaches, and person-in-environment frameworks. ASWIS encourages the full range of social work practice in sports, from case management and clinical services through advocacy and policy practice for every level and segment of sports.
​
ASWIS finalized its incorporation in June 2016 and become an official 501(c)(3) in March of 2017.

PRACTICUM EDUCATION COMMITTEE
Strategic Plan Goals
​
​The Practicum Education Committee plays a vital role in advancing the field by developing and maintaining the Sport Social Work Practicum Manual, which provides essential guidelines and direction for schools of social work, agencies, and social work interns. The committee fosters partnerships with institutes of higher education to create meaningful collaborations and ensure that social work students have access to specialized education and training. By expanding practicum placements, the committee helps increase opportunities for firsthand experience in the intersection of social work and sports, strengthening the pipeline for future professionals in the field.
