The Certificate Program in Youth Work prepares students for careers in youth services. Students receive a back-ground in the principles and practices of service to children and adolescents, including programs for dependent, delinquent, and special needs youth. Courses in this Program address topics such as adolescent growth and behavior, approaches to practice, and practice with family and community systems. Students complete a 12-week field placement at a youth service agency under the supervision of a College instructor and site administrator.
