Community Social Work

Community Social Work

The City of Calgary has Community Social Workers (CSWs) in over 20 geographic areas in Calgary. The Community Social Work program utilizes various tools, data and information, including the Calgary Equity Index to determine where Community Social Workers will be initially assigned. The Calgary Equity Index is a tool to help residents, planners, researchers, and decision-makers identify disparities or equity concerns across Calgary.

Once in those communities, CSWs conduct a thorough assessment process to more precisely determine needs and assets, and then embark upon a range of co-created initiatives to create positive social change with community members.

Community Social Workers work with residents and other partners to promote leadership and volunteer opportunities, build individual skills, confidence and experience, and connect community members. Our collective work results in more healthy, inclusive and participatory neighbourhoods.
