Group Program Design

Group programming is a valuable tool for Child and Youth Care practitioners to help meet the needs of children and youth. Students apply their knowledge of participant selection, program design and evaluation, and group facilitation to develop a multi-session group program on a topic of their choice, grounded in current research. Working in partners, with individualized support from the course instructor, students complete a series of workshops and assignments that result in a program manual marketable to social services and the community.
