Program Description:

In the Child and Youth Care program, you develop the knowledge and skills needed to advocate for children, youth and their families. You learn how to encourage children, youth and their families to be more resourceful and to be able to confidently use their voice.

 Advantages:

  • The Child and Youth Care      program may be taken full or part time, and if you are currently      working in the field, through a government-funded apprenticeship program.

  • The program curriculum is      reviewed on an annual basis to ensure courses are up-to-date and based on      current research and best practices.

  • Program faculty are all trained      in child and youth care and have extensive knowledge, expertise and field      experience.

  • Three specialized field      practicums are provided and include a variety of settings (school,      residential, community, etc.). The first-year field practicum is in a      school board setting and occurs two days per week in second semester. The      second-year field practicum is in a residential setting in either third or      fourth semester and occurs four days per week (shift work could include      day and/or evening hours). The final practicum is in a specialized setting      three days per week, during the fifth and sixth semester. All three field      practicums provide a valuable opportunity for integrating classroom      learning and hand-on practice.

  • All graduates receive      certification in SafeTALK (Suicide Prevention), ASIST (Suicide      Intervention) and Positive Space training.

  • The Child and Youth Care      program has a specially-designed communications lab that is used      extensively for interactive learning activities, counselling simulations      and small group observation and feedback.

  • You have the opportunity to      engage in intra-professional collaboration with other programs within the      college community (e.g. Police Foundations).

  • Global Citizenship and Equity      Portfolio: Students in this Program will develop a portfolio documenting      their engagement with the College's signature Global Citizenship and      Equity competencies. For more information on Global Citizenship and      Equity, the GC&E Portfolio and the supports available to you, please      visit www.centennialcollege.ca/citizenshipandequity.
