Overview

Learn a wide range of prevention and intervention strategies that foster positive change and healthy development. Assess the strengths and needs of young people and families and develop interventions to meet those needs. Apply the principles of relational practice, life space engagement and anti-oppressive practice while working with children, youth, and families. In classes, you learn practical and theoretical concepts and then apply them in field placements. Working with young people in field placements helps you to develop into a confident and competent child and youth care practitioner. By the end of this programme, you have practical experience in two different work environments in the field of child and youth care.

This Child and Youth Care (Year 1) (Part-time) course at Algonquin College offers two courses in outdoor activities. In these courses, you learn to facilitate activities in the outdoors while on a two day overnight camping trip with fellow classmates and faculty - a truly memorable learning experience.

Careers

Graduates may find employment as child and youth care practitioners, youth workers, educational assistants, case coordinators, child advocates, child and youth counsellors, and community, family, or housing support workers.
