From May 5th to 11th, the global Child and Youth Care Work (CYCW) community came together to commemorate Child and Youth Care Workers Week. This year’s theme, “Global Belonging in Child and Youth Care,” underscored the sector’s commitment to fostering a sense of belonging among its professionals and the children, youth, and families they serve.
The theme also embraced the sector’s growth as it celebrated its 50th anniversary in South Africa, acknowledging the significant strides made in distinguishing child and youth care work as a unique profession.
Thank you to our own Child and Youth Care Workers, who are directly responsible for providing for the physical and emotional needs of the children in our care – 24/7, 365 day a year. In recognition of their dedication and selfless work, we treated them to a special breakfast at a local hotel.
