This article reports on professional development of nine U.S. social work students of color who participated in a delegation exploring human trafficking in Thailand through a reverse mission program. Through the use of the 2015 Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) as a conceptual framework, this qualitative study provides insight into delegates' development related to professional roles and identities, understanding the complexity of social contexts, enhancing cultural humility, and sparking community engagement at home in the United States. This study points to the importance of critical reflection and peer support as tools to inspire delegates to take direct action upon return to their own contexts. Discussion of findings and implications for social work educators and students are included.
