Innovative Learning

 

The CPCS Youth Work concentration is one of very few higher education programs specifically designed to deal with issues, strategies, and practices specific to youth development. It is an ideal program for people interested in entering the field, and for those who are already in youth work who wish to build on their experiences. Students in the program will develop critical understanding of youth and youth culture, explore models of effective practice, analyze youth issues, and apply their practice in the field. The concentration focuses on a youth development perspective and emphasizes theories and practices to promote participatory practices that support youth and community development.
