Mentorship is vitally important to the CBSW.  It is our goal to match every Black social work student that desires connection with a Black professional social worker for the purposes of mentorship, guidance, and coaching.

Social gatherings like cookouts and holiday parties as well as Networking events keep us connected to one another.  Connection is important for our growth and our maturity as social workers.
