The EC teacher (special ed teacher) at my school originally wanted to be a social worker. She told us that she majored in Social work. Or maybe I misunderstood her.

I bet if you googled "social worker" or "how to become a social worker" then you could find something.

Otherwise I suggest making an appointment with your school guidance councilor. I actually wanted to be a social worker at one point. After a while of really looking into it I decided I was much too emotional and that I would become too attached to make it my profession.

Anyway, using google and/or speaking with your guidance councilor would be the way to go with this.
Good luck, I admire the professional choice.

You should go to your school guidance councilor. A part of their job is to help you figure out what you need to do in order to pursue the career of your choice.
They want you to further your education, and they will help you find out which would be the best college for you, what classes you should major in, etc.
They will even help you find the funding, such as financial aide, student loans, student grants, etc, and they will help you apply for these things.
Basically, they can help you out in a way that suits your personal needs, rather than someone giving you suggestions based on what was best for theirs.
A lot of kids don't realize that is a part of the reason they are there, so they don't know to take advantage of their services. ;)
