Human Services, Certificate of Achievement
The Human Services program prepares students to support individuals and families in areas like mental health, addiction recovery, youth services, homelessness, and more. Students gain real-world skills to work as case managers, advocates, youth workers, paraeducators, and more across settings such as group homes, community agencies, and social service organizations. Through hands-on experience and coursework in diversity, intervention strategies, and social issues, students can earn a certificate or associate degree that leads to meaningful work or transfer opportunities.
