Social Work Study Abroad

 

Ghana: Globalization, Cultural Heritage, and Social Justice is more than just a trip—it’s an opportunity to walk in history, engage in meaningful service-learning, and discover how identity, culture, and social work intersect on a global stage. Students who joined us last summer described the journey as life-changing—an experience that reshaped how they saw themselves as Black Americans and future social workers.
