Children's Studies Student Association

This association is for Children's Studies majors and minors and their allies. The association is all about RESOURCES, ADVOCACY, and EMPOWERMENT. The association will be organizing various events throughout the year. To get involved or to find out more, contact childrenstudies@gmail.com .

In 2007-2008, the Children's Studies Student Association was awarded an "Outstanding Commitment to Student Engagement Award" by the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies.

Chapters of Other Organizations

The Children's Studies Program already has chapters of two high-profile Canadian NGOs involved with children - one for "Right to Play" and "The White Rose Project" for "Free the Children," both of which offer opportunities for advocacy work on behalf of children in Canada and abroad.

The possibilities for other such student organizations are many - Children's Studies students are invited to pursue initiatives of interest and to organize appropriate events in support of child-related programs and charities. All student groups affiliated with the Program will have the facilities of 113 Vanier College available for their meetings and programming.
