We work with students, healthcare/Child Life professionals, and the Georgia community to provide service to kids in need and connect students with child focused professionals for networking and informational opportunities
What does our club do?
We exist to create community among all undergraduate and graduate students interested in the field of child life, using that community environment to equip students in developing leadership skills and personal competencies to be successful in the field. We exist to empower students in professional development and identity through networking and learning opportunities to connect with those in the profession of child life and other related fields. We exist to educate our campus and community on the importance of the field through awareness, public relations and community outreach. Finally, we exist to encourage the pediatric community through service towards the patients, families and staff.
We meet twice a month, one meeting is a service project meeting (in person) and one is a professional development meeting (often on zoom). In our service project meetings we often do crafts or care kits for local student organizations/healthcare facilities and provide snacks/fidgets! Students can receive one qualified service hour to dedicate to their number of volunteer hours by attending our service meetings. In the professional development meetings we meet with individuals who have graduated from UGA and pursed jobs working with kids/in healthcare and students can ask questions, get contact info, and connect with professionals/mentors!
