Overview

Diploma - Community Development Work

Are you passionate about social and environmental justice, enjoy working with groups, and wish you could help connect people to services and opportunities in their community? 

Then the Community Development Work program at Centennial College is for you.

This offering will prepare you for an interdisciplinary field, working with groups experiencing marginalization. 

You'll build skills in critical thinking of matters such as social justice, anti-oppressive practice, sustainable development, community engagement, community asset-mapping, fundraising, team building, collaborative leadership, project management, research and project evaluation.

Expert guest speakers, field trips, and collaborative projects with local and international NGOs attached to student learning evaluations and assessments will all be components of this program's courses and learning outcomes. 

Perhaps the unique aspect of this program is how you'll connect theory to practice through field placement learning opportunities. 

You'll engage in field placement opportunities/on-the-job internship experiences with organizations, institutions and social enterprises actively engaged in community work.

Please note: This program is taught using a combination of modalities. Courses may be delivered face-to-face, online, or in a blended/hybrid combination of both online and traditional classroom teaching.
