Local Engagement Networks. Connect. Engage. Belong.
OASW’s Local Engagement Networks bring together social workers, social work students, retired social workers, and everyone in between to connect, network, and build engaged communities of social workers across the province. Led by Local Engagement Ambassadors, the networks are a welcoming and inclusive place for social workers to connect and engage with colleagues in their local areas. 

OASW supports each network with funding, event assistance and other resources to help our members deliver engaging activities and events throughout the year. With multiple ways to get involved, all OASW members can find a way to connect, learn and belong in their Local Engagement Network!
