Are you interested in joining one of our committees?
An investment in the Child and Youth Care Association of Alberta is an investment in yourself and your profession. Volunteering on one of our committees is a way to be invested.
Our Committees are chaired by one of our board members. Committees are comprised of board members and volunteers. Volunteers do need to have an active paid CYCAA membership to serve on the committees.
If you are interested in contributing to the work being conducted to advance the Child and Youth Care field in Alberta, please contact our office at info@cycaa.com to get started!
