Every September we celebrate Child Welfare Worker Appreciation Month. This year we are asking for nominations of child welfare workers to celebrate throughout the year in order to increase the public’s understanding of this complex work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caseworkers are everyday heroes who serve as a vital link between families and the services they need in order to thrive. It is important work and caseworkers should be celebrated for their dedication and contribution to their communities. Being a caseworker is not only fulfilling and meaningful but also a good-paying job that offers ample opportunity for advancement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates will be recognized starting in 2026 at a day and method of their county’s choosing. The top candidates will have the chance to be spotlighted in the Community Partner Newsletter.
