Member Benefits
All of these member benefits are available to our students, professional social workers and our retirees!
Many of you are taking your licensure exams and will need 30 hours of continuing education units (CEUs) in your first three year licensure period. We have some of the best CEUs for free and very reduced costs as a benefit of your NASW memberships:
- MyNASW connects students and professional social workers across our 55 chapters. MyKentucky Community page for Kentucky members is a valuable way to connect with social workers across the country as well as our own page just for our Kentucky members to share ideas, job listings, supervision and private practice information, etc. between Kentucky chapter members: https://mynasw.socialworkers.org/naswky
- Looking for free to very low cost CEU’s? Our 10 FREE Podcast CEU program began during the pandemic and has been such a hit we plan on keeping it active and updated. We offer $10 Ethics (required for our KY licensure) and other free to very inexpensive courses for your licensure that are also very interesting for our student members PLUS free Lunch and Learn CEUs, free webinar CEU's from national that members can enjoy.
