National Catholic School of Social Service

Since 1918, the National Catholic School of Social Service has prepared compassionate, skilled social workers grounded in the Catholic tradition and committed to advancing human dignity. Our students are called to serve individuals, families, and communities facing complex challenges, specializing in areas such as: homelessness, trauma-informed care, substance use disorders, child and family services, elder care, and other critical fields of practice. On Founders Day, your support strengthens scholarship support, enhances field education, and fuels innovative programs–like our summer study abroad program in Rome–that equip our graduates to respond to urgent social needs. Together, we can form leaders who practice mercy, pursue justice, and transform communities for the common good.
