York University provided me with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue a meaningful career in social work. The program’s focus on critical thinking, advocacy, and hands-on learning shaped my approach to supporting individuals and families. My professors and peers challenged me to grow, both personally and professionally, fostering a deep commitment to social justice and community impact. Through York, I built connections that continue to influence my work today.
