"The Childhood Studies Minor in the College of Arts and Sciences is an exciting educational opportunity for undergraduate students interested in a wide array of issues concerning children and the experience of childhood. This interdisciplinary minor focuses on the life stages of infancy through adolescence and incorporates interests in child policy, parenting, gender, the life course, and the place of children in society and culture." ~ From the Center website

"The Schubert Center for Child Studies and the Childhood Studies Program at Case Western Reserve University collaborate with public and non-profit community organizations to offer Mann Child Policy Externships. These externships create a rigorous educational and civic experience by giving undergraduates an opportunity to work directly with professionals who design and implement policies that impact the lives of children and families. Students gain first-hand perspectives on the policy process by engaging in planning, research, analysis, and/or advocacy activities emphasizing policy related to children and childhood." ~ From the Center website

"Experiential Learning in Child Policy (CHST 302) is a course offered annually through the Childhood Studies program. The course gives students an in-depth understanding of state and federal legislation impacting children, youth, and families, and includes an experiential learning component in which students visit Washington, D.C. to meet with policymakers and see the legislative process in action." ~ From the Center website
