Program Description

The purpose of the School-Age and Youth Care Certificate Program is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to work effectively during out-of-school hours with children between the ages of six and fourteen years The competencies in these courses almost entirely overlap with the newly established competencies for School-Age Care Professionals, as outlined by the Georgia Childhood Care and Education Professional Development System’s Collaborative Leadership Team. This certificate program will be the first to address these competencies specifically for school age and youth care practitioners who wish to receive formal education in this discipline.
