Counselors in the Community

We know that many of you, in addition to the important work you do every day as school counselors, share your expertise and insights in a variety of venues. It could be starting an initiative at your school, presenting at an educational conference, or even being interviewed for a news story or podcast.

We want to make sure that your fellow AzSCA members know about the good work you are doing representing our profession.

If you have an interesting program that you or your team have launched, best practices to share, or news about outreach you've made in the community, please take a moment to let us know by clicking the button below. (And if you know of someone who is doing something awesome as a school counselor, feel free to tell us about their work and we'll reach out to them.)
