Community Projects by Child Development Majors
Whittier College child development majors experience the real world contexts of the development of children by working as a volunteer or intern for a minimum of 65 hours at community organizations of their choice under the guidance of child development faculty. Below is a community project completed in the fall of 2022. To learn more about the child development major at Whittier College, please visit the department webpage.
"Hey Hailey" Book Recommendations
Hello, my name is Hailey Kelley. I am 21 years old and attending Whittier college. I am majoring in both business and child development. My hopes for my degree in child development and business is to one day be a second grade teacher and open my own volleyball club. I am currently playing on the Whittier College volleyball team and have been playing volleyball for nine years. The “Hey Hailey” book recommendations are for my community project. I hope the Whittier community loves this project and they can look back on the “Hey Hailey” recommendations to find a good read for the family.
