The Massachusetts School Counselors Association, Inc. was founded in 1961 to work for the promotion, improvement and expansion of guidance and counseling in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Membership in MASCA, now with over 1860 members, is open to counselors active in public and private elementary and secondary schools in the Commonwealth. In addition, graduate students enrolled in counselor education programs, post-secondary level counselors, counselor educators, and retired counselors are eligible for membership. We also welcome certified school adjustment counselors and school social workers who also work with the social emotional needs of our students.

MASCA deeply values its diverse membership and is fully committed to creating an organization where each individual is welcomed, included, respected and empowered. No person will be excluded from MASCA on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, political affiliation or military status, or for any other discriminatory reason. These activities include, but are not limited to, appointment of its Governing Board, hiring or firing of staff, selection of volunteers and vendors, and the providing of services. This policy is fundamental to the effective functioning of MASCA as an organization that supports counselors and promotes equity in our schools, districts and the Commonwealth.
