With calls for professional school counselors to incorporate social justice advocacy into their roles and responsibilities, the purpose of this study was to examine perceived social justice advocacy competence among currently practicing school counselors. Analysis of the data indicated several variables associated with higher perceived competence with regard to social justice advocacy competence. The results have implications for practice and training of school counselors. Recommendations for future research are also explored.
