The CORSW Community Impact Award recognizes community practice, which shapes the process of social work education by exemplifying the feminist leadership models. The criteria for the award are:
- The recipient should have an affiliation with one or more accredited social work education programs (i.e., community-engaged research partnerships, field education placements, or other service-learning opportunities).
- The recipient engages in feminist practice and leadership in a community setting, drawing on theories, models, competencies, and practice behaviors from their social work education.
- The recipient clearly articulates how their approach to practice, program, and/or policy reform shapes awareness of how social work education through the real world of community, contributes to feminist leadership, and the grand challenges of social work.
The award will be presented at the Feminist Networking Breakfast during the CSWE Annual Conference held by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The award winner is expected to attend.
