School Social Work Week 2025 celebrates the collective power and passion of school social workers who unite communities to ignite positive change in the lives of students, families, and schools. This year’s theme, “Unite to Ignite: Celebrating our Impact,” highlights the vital role school social workers play in fostering connections, advocating for equity, and driving social and emotional growth.
It’s a time to honor the difference made by empowering others and working together to overcome challenges, ensuring all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. During the school year, School Social Workers are confronted with challenges, heightened anxieties, and anticipated difficulties. However, School Social Workers face these challenges with strength and resilience. SSWAA wants to support and celebrate School Social Workers across the country during the 2025 National School Social Work week.
