1. Social work is conducted by public and private agencies. In the U.S., for example, the federal government, operating through the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Department of Labor, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and other units, administers social welfare programs or provides funds that permit state, city, neighborhood, or private agencies to operate many programs. These also include adoption services to abused and neglected children, foster-home care, children's institutions, and juvenile-training, schools, as well as local community organizations and neighborhood service centers. Other funds go to school social work, psychiatric clinics and mental health centers, drug-abuse programs, organizations such as the Neighborhood Youth Corps, programs to improve intergroup relations, and social planning efforts. Many states, cities, neighborhoods, and voluntary agencies grant funds for similar and other programs.

2. For entry-level social work, it is necessary to obtain a degree as a bachelor of social work. For more advanced work and in order to work independently, a master's degree in social work from an accredited university is required. The Council on Social Work Education in Washington, D.C. provides information on professional schools in the field. Social work agencies collaborate with universities in training programs, thus enabling students to obtain supervised experience in actual professional practice. Fieldwork, that is, supervised training in an operating agency, is required for most social work positions.

3. The professional organization of social workers is the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), with headquarters located in Silver Spring, Maryland, and local chapters around the country. NASW publishes the quarterly magazine Social Work Journal and the Encyclopedia of Social Work, in addition to books and journals.
