Our
city is a magnet for people from all over the world and
from all walks of life. As Toronto grows it will experience
even greater social change. More counsellors,
early childhood educators and social workers will be needed
to reach out and make a difference.
We have the most comprehensive range of
programs in the province and the largest number of community
agency partnerships.
The perfect combination of theory and hands-on experience
As Toronto continues to grow in size, diversify in population and
experience even greater social change, one thing will
remain the same: more counsellors and community
workers will be needed to reach out and make a difference.
George Brown’s Centre for Community Services and Development
meets the needs of our urban community with the most
comprehensive range of programs in the
province and the largest number of community agency
partnerships – over 1,000.
In class and in the field, you will
gain the skills and understanding needed to support
individual and community
development through sound analysis, counselling, caring
program development and
