Student placements
From working directly with young people through intensive case work support, to creating leadership opportunities for young people to be heard, we are constantly looking for ways to put young people at the centre of this change-making process.
CMY can assist youth sector organisations to create placement opportunities for students who are undertaking Youth Work, Community Services, Community Development, Communications and Marketing degrees and diplomas, to ensure they are able to do the 100 or 250 hours placement that they must undertake to complete their qualification.
