Networking

Networking at ACLP

As members of a specialized field with a limited number of practitioners, it is important for Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) to reach beyond the boundaries of individual programs, disciplines, and geographies to connect with the larger child life community. At the Association of Child Life Professionals (ACLP), promoting professional collaboration among child life professionals is one of our most important goals, and a key benefit for our members. We encourage you to reach out to a welcoming community of child life professionals, who are ready and eager to share information, ideas and resources.

Build lasting relationships that will enhance your personal and professional development, and make a real difference in your career!
