THE Tennessee Conference on Social Welfare
Commitment. Connections. Success.
TCSW represents the strength of 1500 individual members and 160 public and private nonprofit agencies touching the lives of Tennesseans, providing over 10 million service contacts per year. Since TCSW inception in 1913, TCSW is credited with a major role in shaping important TN social reform, including the first Children's Code.
The mission of TCSW is to promote the economic and social well-being of all Tennesseans, particularly for those most vulnerable.
TCSW is the network STEWARD and WEAVER of services, citizens, advocates and decision-makers to strengthen Tennessee through strengthening our people. We believe research, problem-solving, best practices, cost-effectiveness, and collaborative action are the strategies to insure Tennesseans can access opportunities for building stronger citizens and communities. TN statistics clearly show we need improvement. To see the numbers, click here.
