Affinity groups are defined as "a group of people linked by a common interest or purpose." OSCA recognizes that while we are all a united profession of school counselors, we work within a diverse environment of settings, levels and specialities. To help our members connect with like-minded professionals, OSCA has created the following affinity groups for our members. Each affinity group has it's own forum function that allows group members to ask questions and get feedback. Each affinity group will also be hosting virtual networking meetings on a regular basis to allow group members additional opportunities to connect.
