The Social Worker Who Goes the Extra Mile: Celebrating Bobby Wagner

What truly sets Bobby Wagner apart is his courageous and unflinching approach to outreach. Unlike many who might rely on institutional boundaries, Wagner makes it his personal duty to go into the roughest areas to connect with children who are most in need. He operates without hesitation when a child cries out for help, recognizing that his impact is greatest when he meets them where they are. By choosing to stay in the community, he ensures that his help is consistent, genuine, and informed by a deep understanding of the local landscape—a key factor that makes him the effective role model he is.

It’s an investment of trust, and at Davidson Local, we make it our mission to honor that trust.
