Interested in Student Volunteership?

The Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) provides opportunities for students to “earn” their registration fee by volunteering at the annual meeting. Volunteers assist with registration, monitor sessions (handout materials, count the number of attendees in each session, assist presenters with AV needs) and provide directions to participants. Student volunteers must attend an orientation on Thursday morning, January 15 to receive their assignments. Volunteers are expected to contribute 8 hours of time during the conference. Students who are also presenters can schedule their volunteer time so it does not conflict with their presentations.

Volunteers must also complete and return a STUDENT VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION FORM and mail it to the address below or register online.
