Advanced Principles of Community Engagement in Child & Youth Studies

Undergraduate

Multidisciplinary application of theories and techniques through experiential learning. May include project, research, placement opportunities, or community-based learning. Course Format: Lecture, 3 hours per week. Prerequisite(s): CHYS 2F16 or CHYS 2F15 Course Notes: Course enrolment is by application only and is limited to the availability of an appropriate match between a student and a service-learning opportunity. Completion of a service-learning component is required by all students. Transportation to the setting is a student responsibility. Students will be required to make arrangements for a police record check with a vulnerable sector screening. Students must submit an application to the appropriate police service, not earlier than four months before the start of the term, and assure that police check is received by the Department not later than six weeks before the start of the term. Permission for course registration will not be granted until the satisfactory police record check is received by the department. Cost associated with the police record check is a student responsibility. Students may also be required to complete mandatory training (e.g., Health and Safety, AODA). This course is designed to promote the bridging of disciplines. Failure to submit the completed, signed Service Learning Verification form (Attendance Record) for the successful community placement or failure to complete course components will result in a grade of F for the course. This course may be offered in multiple modes of delivery. The method of delivery will be listed on the academic timetable, in the applicable term. Exclusions: Completion of the course will replace previous assigned grade and credit obtained in CHYS 3F93.
