Fleming College - CYC Program

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.
