Diploma in Child and Youth Care

NorQuest College

The Child and Youth Care program prepares you to support young people and their families who have experienced social, behavioural, and emotional challenges. During our 2-year diploma program, you’ll develop strong, ethical decision-making skills to prioritize the wellbeing and rights of the young people and families you serve. This program will prepare you for child and youth care worker roles through theory-based courses and a hands-on practicum experience-both of which emphasize the importance of culturally sensitive responses, strength-based communication, and creating relationships that promote trust and empowerment.
