On Friday September 20th several of York University's Children's Studies Students were invited to attend Free the Children's We Day celebration. They got to hear from various speakers and learn about all of the ways children in our community and across the world are getting involved in projects of service and learning how to ethically support those who are less fortunate. Following the planned activities York's students were able to meet Marc Kielburger one of the co-founders of Free the Children and speak about the work currently being done in the program. Some students from the Children's Studies Faculty even presented Marc Kielburger with a Free the Children themed board game that was created during one of Professor Steve Gennaro's classes. Thank you We Day for giving us such an amazing and inspirational experience!

Hello CHSTSA Members!

A Big hello and welcome to all Children's Studies Students and CHSTSA members. Wether you are an upper year student, new to the Children's Studies program or a member in a different York program we are so glad to have you be a part of our organization!


York Classes begin on September 9th but CHSTSA Activities are beginning before that. Some CHSTSA representatives will be coming to the Vanier Orientation to address the new first year students and answer any questions they might have. 


Once the year begins CHSTSA executive members will be addressing each of the CORE Children's studies classes just to say hello and discuss the possibly of electing class representatives. 


The CHSTSA blog has just been updated so please see the various tabs for information on peer mentoring and your new executive council!
