Welcome to the School of Social Work
We are a School that strives to create a inclusive, respectful environment for our students.
We are honored to welcome students of many different and intersecting identities.
We are open to exploring alternative or non traditional placement opportunities for our students
We encourage you to be creative and proactive in your search

Mission Statement
The School of Social Work at York teaches from a critical social work perspective.
We focus on issues of social justice, marginalization and oppression
We focus on teaching students to understand social problems from this perspective and to address social problems as social justice issues.
![Page 7: 2-Year MSW Orientation to the Placement Process May 25, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fa1a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
As a result we do not have streams of practice within the program or within placements.
We encourage students to think about where to do their placement in terms of the social justice issues they wish to address and the skills they need to develop to do so effectively.
Mission Statement
