Nominate someone to be recognised by CYC-Net (Canada)
We are looking to acknowledge Canadian CYCs who are instrumental in helping our field to grow and develop. We are not just interested in people who receive awards, but equally in recognizing those in direct care that are doing amazing work. Like the CYC who has developed an amazing program for indigenous youth to connect with their culture, or the CYC who has mentored numerous new CYCs over the years, or an organization that has developed a special on-boarding and training program for newcomers, or an agency which is noted for offering exceptional services in their community, or a CYC who has developed special circus programs for youth, or an association which supports its members in a unique manner, etc. In other words, all of those people and agencies who might not be recognized with ‘formal’ awards but who we recognize are doing great things. To make a nomination of someone or an organization you and your colleagues think is special and deserves recognition, follow this link:
