Program Advisory Committee (PAC) Opportunities

Help shape the future of Child and Youth Care education by volunteering on a Program Advisory Committee at an Ontario college or university. Advisory Committee members provide valuable sector and practice insight that helps academic programs remain current, responsive, and aligned with workforce needs. This is an opportunity to share professional expertise, strengthen connections between education and practice, support student success, and influence the next generation of Child and Youth Care graduates. Whether you work in schools, community services, mental health, child welfare, youth justice, or leadership, your voice can make a meaningful impact.

Please contact the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) directly with any questions or queries related to their organization
