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.

The Alliance of Social Workers in Sports (ASWIS) understands a precise and critically developed strategic plan provides the blueprint for our collective growth. Having clearly stated mission, vision, and value statements provide the overarching objective of our Alliance. However, the specific goals outlined in a strategic plan give us precise tasks for achieving our prominent objective. Each presidential term we report on our strategic plan through a Presidential Report. This summary promotes accountability of our leadership and transparency to our members and supporting organizations. In the end, maintaining integrity towards this plan and demonstrating full disclosure in our reporting will gain our members access to new resources, continue to inspire a subfield of social workers, as well as draw local, state, national, and global attention to the well-being and functioning of athletes.
