ACYCP Individual Membership

As Membership Chair of the Association for Child and Youth Care Practice, I’d like to personally welcome you to our premier trans-national child and youth care (CYC) advocacy organization. From community based programs to institutional care, our field includes dozens of CYC specialties, employing workers like you in the hundreds of thousands. For almost 40 years we have been helping advance the profession of child and youth care as a specialty area of the human services field. We are here to support you personally and professionally, whether you are just entering our profession or are a seasoned veteran. Please take a few minutes now to look at the wide array of membership benefits at: http://www.acycp.org/membership , which we are expanding and upgrading on an on-going basis. As such, we are always open to your input, questions, comments and concerns. In addition to our attractive membership benefits, we offer several involvement opportunities to complement your professional experiences. Enriching your experiences and fulfillment in CYC work benefits everyone involved (and it looks great on your resume as well!).
