Child and Youth Care Worker

"We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Have YOU got what it takes?

Nova Scotia needs Child and Youth Care Workers NOWSuccess College’s Child and Youth Care Worker program prepares you for employment in all facets of community based child and youth care facilities, where both youth and their families often experience a wide range of behavioural and social learning challenges.  Through hands on practical application, discussions and lectures, we'll see you through systematically from the client's assessment, program planning and implementation.  You'll be an integral part of a team of professionals, monitoring the child's treatment from the 'front lines'. 

You’ll find that the Child and Youth Care Worker Program blends a range of intervention and treatment strategies based on studying fundamental human behaviour and development.  Some of these strategies include crisis intervention, conflict management and counselling.
