About us... Child and Youth Care Workers' Association of Manitoba (CYCWAM) is a non-profit, volunteer association of child and youth care workers in the Province of Manitoba. As a member of the Council of Canadian Child and Youth Care Association, we represent and promote excellence in the professional practice of Child and Youth Care in Manitoba.

Scholarship Fund Established

A scholarship fund has been established in memory of our colleague Martha Mattingly, who passed away suddenly in February.

The scholarship committee is awarding two $500 scholarships for the NFLD conference. The scholarship fund is intended to encourage leadership development among relatively junior professionals in our field, and so eligible applicants would be individuals who are early in their career development as cyc practitioners, trainers or educators.

The deadline for applications is May 1.

Criteria and application procedures are on the conference website, and on the ACYCP website. Please encourage anyone in your network who might be eligible to apply.
