Creating a safe place to play and learn
Danielle Alyward is a big fan of learning through play.
Taking classroom learning to community
Jane Dean has been passionate about working with children and youth for as long as she can remember. When she started the Child and Youth Care program at VIU, her goal was to create a positive impact in the lives of others.
She is now seeing her goal come to fruition. She’s been helping to organize a large outdoor event at Georgia Avenue Community School school in Nanaimo’s Harewood community.
Finding her fit with VIU’s Child and Youth Care degree program
Advocating for families and supporting them in a variety of capacities are the best parts of Taylor LeBrun’s job.
Taylor graduated from VIU’s Child and Youth Care degree program last summer, and found employment almost right away, signing on as a support worker at Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre in Nanaimo this past September.
