Core Values

Policy

We believe meaningful social change begins with effective policy. Our organization is committed to understanding, analyzing, and influencing policies that shape social systems, institutions, and community outcomes. We equip members with the knowledge and skills to engage in policy development, reform, and evaluation to promote equity, justice, and evidence-based decision-making at the local, state, and national levels.

Community

Community is the foundation of sustainable change. We value collaboration with diverse communities and honor lived experience as essential to macro practice. Our work centers on strengthening community capacity, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering partnerships that promote collective empowerment and long-term social impact.

Networking

We recognize that progress is built through connection. Our organization prioritizes intentional networking among students, professionals, nonprofit leaders, and policymakers. By creating spaces for relationship-building, mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we prepare members to lead effectively within complex social systems.

Advocacy

Advocacy is central to our mission as macro social workers. We are dedicated to challenging injustice, confronting systemic barriers, and promoting social change through ethical, informed, and action-oriented advocacy. We empower members to engage in civic participation, grassroots organizing, and institutional reform to advance human rights and social justice.
