Hello Niki, 

Happy dusshera. Why pursue history when you ultimately wish to work as a social worker. You can join MSW and quit history majors. Or after you major with history, pursue an MSW course. 

But that would mean engaging another 2 years into studies. 

Please note there are many positions in an NGO to function as a social worker, apart from addressing the social issues. With your history background, you could get into teaching or education sector and help into educating the kids.

Slowly can get involved in other activities once you join the team.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck...
