Advanced College Diploma - Child and Youth Care - Accelerated (CY321)

Humber’s Child and Youth Care – Accelerated advanced diploma program prepares students to promote the optimal development of children, youth and their families. They will develop skills in assessing needs, designing and implementing programs and planned environments, and using daily life events to support and facilitate positive change. The program provides foundational knowledge in infant, child and adolescent development; child and youth care relational practice principles; psychology of the family; evidence-based or evidence-informed intervention strategies; group dynamics; and therapeutic activities.

Humber's accelerated program makes it possible for students with previous postsecondary education to fast-track through the program in 16 consecutive months without compromising experience through three field placements. Studies begin in September, with graduation projected for December of the following academic year.
