LAI 526LEC - Agencies & Services for Children

If “it takes a village to raise a child,” this course introduces you to the village that includes Buffalo and the Western New York region. We explore the concept of children’s rights and the agencies and services in our community that are dedicated to supporting those rights. This course will assist participants in becoming familiar with, accessing, and working with local agencies and services of WNY that support healthy development of youth in the home, school and community; and in adopting strengths-based approaches to working with children and youth, with an emphasis on service learning.
