Rural Social Work Revolution

Montana’s School of Social Work just won a national innovation award for revolutionizing social work training—letting students gain hands-on experience right in their rural or Indigenous communities, without having to relocate. Through partnerships with tribal and rural colleges, the program offers remote and community-based placements, ensuring vital social work talent stays where it’s most needed. Recognized by the Council on Social Work Education for its “place-bound and justice-oriented” model, the initiative also expands paid practicums, trains mentors in trauma stewardship and cultural competency, and proves that real change starts where you’re rooted.
