This year’s theme is ‘Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Wellbeing‘, which emphasizes the importance of caring and respecting across generations to build strong societies, sustain the environment, and share wisdom for a better future.
Social workers are everywhere—in our communities, in hospitals, the halls of Congress and in local governments, corporations, social service agencies, veterans’ centers, as well as schools, sporting institutions, and more. They’re also in demand.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the social work profession is projected to grow 7 percent between now and 2033—faster than the average for all occupations. By then, more than 836,000 social workers will be employed here in the United States. Social workers undergo years of schooling and training, gaining the expertise needed to support communities and individuals. They excel at meeting people where they are and provide compassionate guidance and help.
To our Social Workers at McGregor, McGregor PACE and beyond….You are a shining light, a beacon of hope for those who need it, and we thank you for all that you do.
