Greetings Sydney:
Thank you for your question. I always recommend doing volunteer work. That way you can start gaining experience, to be sure this is really what you want to do. Sometimes if you work for a non-profit and you do well, you might get hired. That has happened to me twice!! Also, think about becoming a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), where you can connect and meet other Social Workers who are in the desired field. Thanks for your question and good luck!!
