Fleming College - CYC Program

05/22/2025

We are proud of Jen Howland, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring.

Graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA, she achieved academic excellence while navigating life as a solo mom, working multiple jobs, and serving as the student representative for her cohort. Throughout her studies, she consistently uplifted the voices of her peers, championing inclusion, support, and equity.

Her unwavering dedication has also been recognized beyond the program —she is a proud recipient of the 2025 Soroptimist Live Your Dream Award, provided to a woman overcoming obstacles to pursue education and build a better future.

She intends to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Youth Care, and hopes for a career walking alongside and supporting youth who have experienced sexual exploitation and trafficking.

To our graduate: your resilience, leadership, and purpose-driven path are a beacon of hope. We are honoured to have been part of your story—and we can’t wait to see the lives you continue to impact.

Tara Winney, Fleming Child and Youth Care graduate, June 2024, was awarded the CycAssets.ca Professional Development Award for her continued learning in the field. Congratulations Tara!

Tara is a force to be reckoned with, and she doesn’t even realize her influence - a humility that makes her presence that much more powerful. Her willingness to be raw and vulnerable has allowed many others to do the same, this has led to some insatiable growth in the graduating class of 2024.

Tara epitomizes meaningful moments, reflecting on what works what doesn’t and what more can be done. She is always becoming a C*C regardless of how much work she’s done before.

Tara is a mature student who previously has a broadcasting diploma and is hoping to blend the two in her advocacy for the Child and Youth Care field. She currently holds a position with a local school board.

Tara has also recently added published author to the list of her talents! Check out her article in the September edition of C*C-Net C*C-Online journal.

Coincidentally, this lovely group of individuals officially received their diplomas earlier today !

Congratulations class of 2023, we celebrate your perseverance and love for this beautiful field!

Give it up for C*CP students staying engaged in our classrooms! Congratulations, Fleming College students for being nominated for the Outstanding Child and Youth Care Students Award!

"Having completed two thirds of their advanced diploma in emergency remote delivery format and only experiencing being on-campus together for one semester, this group formed a special bond with each other that allowed them to be better together. Each one, having had at least one significant life stressor, they managed to overcome obstacles on the energy of peer encouragement while at the same time never losing focus on the best interest of other. They led a moving basic needs fundraiser for a local youth agency, and all stepped into the role of advocate, teaching to do for self, in their final practicums." - Heather, Helen and Deb

Congrats 🥳

It's a new month! Congratulations Isey Western-Williams from Fleming College for being nominated for the Outstanding Child and Youth Care Student Award!

"Always engaged, curious, motivated, respectful, empathetic, resilient and among other things such an easy person to talk with. She fosters the ideas of others through her inquisitive nature while lifting everyone up in the process. She is an active learner who always comes prepared seeing each moment as an opportunity for learning. She has a beautiful positive outlook on life. She is passionate about removing barriers to care while walking alongside Indigenous children, youth, and families while they use their agency to change life trajectories. She has a gift for connection, touching the hearts of all those she encounters" Heather, Helen, & Deb

Well done, Isey! Keep up the amazing work!

You are of value. You matter. You are loved. Care must improve because you are worth it. Together we must strive for better.

On May 14, 2023 take some time out of your day to learn and share what First Voice Advocates have to say about enhancing critical supports for children and youth in the child welfare.

Save the date! May 14 is and this year we’re asking the question: Are you there for kids in care? to remind community, government, and service providers that these young people continue to need critical supports. We want all Ontarians to think about how they can support the well-being and success of children and youth in the child welfare system.

We are pleased to have partnered with on this year’s campaign.

Check out our new campaign materials at oacas.org/forgetmenot and join us on May 14!
