Real work.
Real world.

Social justice is real work. You can think about it, talk about, and read all about it. But you’ll never really know what to do about it until you’re actually doing it. At Adler, every student has the opportunity to get real world hands-on experience as they pursue their advanced degree.

HERE’S HOW WE DO IT

1,500+
community partners offer clinical and social justice practica for students
358k
direct service hours provided by our students to nearly 14,000 people in their communities annually

You can’t help it.
Social justice is in your
blood. Ours too.

You didn’t wake up one day and decide to change the world. It’s part of who you are and what makes you feel alive, energized, and meaningful. We know the feeling.
