"1:10 students receive payment for placement ... And half left their job to obtain their #MSW ... It's important to quantify student experience so we can continue to track the impact" (N=408) #APM2023 @UGAP4P @uscsocialwork @p4pumich @profmattdecarlo

.@P4PNational is a movement across university campuses calling for social work students to be paid for fieldwork. As organizers say, “economic hardship shouldn’t be a prerequisite” for the job. Full story for @TeenVogue and EHRP by @Rainesford #LaborDay https://t.co/pngALePHou

Social workers are essential workers, and we strongly believe that unpaid internships don't just contribute to the devaluation of the social work profession, but also create undue burdens and unnecessary barriers. #SocialWorkTwitter #P4P #EconomicSocialJustice #Internships

“Student organizers say they value the work they do in the field and that’s why they’re fighting so hard to prevent economic hardship for those who come after them.” @Rainesford for @teenvogue #UnpaidInternships @P4PNational @UGAP4P #P4P #PaymentforPlacements @payourinterns

Unpaid Work Experience Is a Requirement That Harms Students in #SocialWork, #Nursing, & #Teaching, read @Rainesford’s article for @teenvogue, story supported by @econhardship https://t.co/uaGyuhLNE2

[Economic Hardship Reporting Project @econhardship]

"According to @P4PNational, a movement across university campuses calling for social work students to be paid for fieldwork, 88% of MSW internships at @UMich were unpaid."

We'll lose social workers if getting an education means they can't afford to live. https://t.co/pngALePHou

@RecoverinOrphan @ShimonDCohen @AlanDettlaff @P4PNational You can join us in asking members of Congress to support the US House Appropriations Committee’s recommendation for the creation of a pilot program to use Federal Work Study to pay social work student interns, https://t.co/s6rOrmCm4l

@RecoverinOrphan @ShimonDCohen @AlanDettlaff @P4PNational On the national level, the More Social Workers (MSWs) in Libraries Act H.R.3006 includes funding for paid student placements.
