I'm Keunyoung Lee. I've come from Korea with my husband employed at U of A about two weeks ago. I live in Garneau Towers around U of A. I'm so interested in Cild and Youth Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator. In fact I had a B.Ed in Korea and my major is Early Childhood Education. After gruduating, I worked at Day Care Centre for 5 years in Korea. I hope I can have a chance to study about Child and Youth Care and meet Child and Youth Care Workers in Canada. In addition, I want to acquire an experience from a volunteer work here during I stay if possible. It is my pleasure to meet and play children and also teach them. I wish I can have a chance to do that. I'll contact you again and I wish you can give me a good news and visit my homepage whenever you can~ Thank you~~ Bye~^^

Comments:Stumbled across your website and really appreciated the clear information in the articles "Child and Youth Care Workers, 3rd Class Citizens" and "Identity v.s. Identity Confusion". So good to see the distinguishing feature of Child and Youth Care work being a focus on relationships and so agree with how Child and Youth Care workers are implementing the essentials of relationship building incorporating many many different theoretical models. Agree that Child and Youth Care workers have so much to share when it comes to integration of theory and practice and focus on building relationships. So much to shout about alright!!!

E-mail address: iamthegrubs@hotmail.com
Comments:Love the site. And as a B.C.'er who struggles to keep a position in the field, I'd like to remind Albertan Child and Youth Care Workers how great you have it in some ways. The future of Child and Youth Care Workers/Counselors in B.C. (well Kelowna anyway) is very dismal. Services to Youth and Families (whether through the Ministry for Child and Family Development or Human Resources) are being cut to unbelievable depths. The jobs we are all used to in the field will soon be transferred to Social Workers. In this area, contracted agencies are being cut back and contracted individuals are being laid off. But there's really no-one to talk to about it. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to join the B.C. Association for over four years with no responce. There does not appear to be any sort of support in this region, and our jobs are not held in regard.

So when you hear someone ask, "what is the point of joining the C.Y.C.A.A.?", tell them to call or write me. The C.Y.C.A.A. was and is, one of the best things to happen in the field in many years. 700+ members!! Keep up the excellent work.

It was inspiring to see this website as it serve as a trmendous "anchoring" point for the diverse capacities of the profession. If this was all it did it would be a success, however the amount of excellent information makes it absolutely a must for workers who are interested in expanding their tools and insights in the service of children. Call me or e-mail me I wan't to sign up again!!

Comments:The site is improving over what it was several years ago.

Would like to see more information on courses at Medicine Hat college as well as teacher profiles(voluntarily) because students share so much personal information, that in maintaining the power differential it would seem appropriate for the teacher to share some basic information as well. It would be a nice gesture.

Would also like to see a site search button(is there one?).

This site is very much focussed on the organization would like to see some discussion on team dynamics in the work place, possible feedback when people attend conferences, for us unlikely folks who do not have the cash or funding to attend, Share what you learn with the rest of us!!!!

I recently had the Mount Royal Child and Youth Counsellor Program logo digitized and embroidered for the graduating and first year students. This is available to anyone who has graduated in the past from these Programs (Mount Royal College or Medicine Hat) and a percentage of the proceeds from orders from alumni goes towards the Child and Youth Care Association fund.
I have a variety of merchandise available (t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, hats, patches, track pants and much much more) to customize your company, agency, or personal logo and have it embroidered. Imagine clients artwork transformed into embroidery. Great for a keepsake. Discounts available to members. I look forward to hearing from you.

Comments:Dear Ann (look below),

I'd like to respond to your question publically. The
simple explaination to your question is that we can't push
for more fair wages for private agencies. Well, not yet
anyway. Although we are a large agency (if you call less
than 1/3 of all possible practitioners large.
Collectively, we do not have any power over what the
agencies set for wages. The cycaa was designed to promote
professionalisation, not wage bargaining. The union has two
things going for them 1) manditory membership for all
governement workers and 2) bargaining power. The cycaa was
never designed to have either. If we can get legislation to
pass, then we will conquor one of those items. If we have
that power, maybe then we can start getting its members
fair wages. My question to you is.. Are you a member? and
if not, what have you done to increase the strength of the
association so that we can help you get fair wages?

Comments:I thought perhaps the one large association which
represents child and youth care workers in Alberta might
advocate a little more in regards to the wage discrepancy
we all experienced recently. I certainly don't want the
CYCAA to be a viewed as union-ish, but it seems typical for
child and youth care workers to do nothing when they aren't
being treated fairly. However, what is the point of being
part of an assocation that remains silent on these issues?

Comments:Congrats all.

I just surfed into this site while reminising. I was
President of the Child Care Workers Association of Alberta
from 1975-1978. My those were heady times (smile). It is
so great to see that the dreams we had back then have come
to fruition.

I'll drop back often to see how things are going and to
feel a touch of pride for my part in this excellent
organization. Great site!

Comments:Welcome to the new executive! Glad to see we're on the web.
To all the members, make sure you read the article re
membership in a cyc assoc., in the last national newsletter
[you received it with your renewal notice]. And then
encourage as many people as you know to read it and buy
membership. The CYCAA needs more members to , and more
people to get involved- wouldn't it be nice if fresh, non-
exhausted cyc's could continue Wayne & co.'s work on the
professional push? Gee, a recent study made the astute
observation that CYC's are underpaid, and feel
unappreciated. The only way we will ever be paid close to
what we should is if we get this legislation passed--but
don't instead of whining, how about doing something about
it? Join the legislation committee!
Is the CYCAA sending anyone to the conference in Cleveland?
I noticed that a group from Texas is presenting on a
Certification progam. We should have a booth set up and flog
our new Certification manual-- afterall, it is the premiere
progam in North America! [Jack Phelan confirmed this in his
observations!]
I am looking forward to a provincial cyc conference- the
last one I recall was in Red Deer, and too much fun! Is
there a committee set up to put a conference on? Sign me up!
Even though I am no longer a practicing cyc, I look forward
to the newsletters, and opportunities for professional
development in the field. And I will be paying my
certification dues probably till death!
Keep up the hard work, everyone! Sue Turner

brief second and thank Catharine for putting together this
web page. The potential of this page for reaching out to
members not only of the Alberta Association, but to reach
out all over is truly amazing. Keep checking back for
updates, and be sure to drop a note here. Here's a trial
question for everyone out there. What is your agency doing
at your worksite to promote Certification? Love to hear
your comments.

that I just set up. I hope that everybody uses this. I
think it will creat an interesting forum. When the time
comes a message board will be incorporated so we can get
into the nitty gritty of things. I look forward to seeing
everyone's comments.
