    Skills

    Through a carefully designed mix of foundational courses and specialized training in prevention, intervention, and community development, FYCS students gain the tools to lead and serve with confidence.

    As you progress through the program, you’ll sharpen your ability to evaluate strategies, apply ethical standards, and tackle today’s most pressing social challenges. Your journey culminates in a hands-on practicum and a final capstone project, giving you the chance to showcase your skills in a professional setting.
