Advancing the excellence of Latino/a social work students

VIVA! works to amplify the voice, visibility and skills of Latino/a students at the School of Social Work. In partnership with community agencies, this initiative seeks to equip students and the School community to be responsive to the diverse strengths and needs of Latino communities throughout Washington state—home to the 12th largest Latino population in the nation.
 
VIVA! provides leadership in developing innovative and culturally informed practices in core areas such as curriculum, staffing, research, community partnership and advancement. The initiative also serves as a catalyst to encourage more systematic collaboration with community partners.
