together we can learn, engage, and create.
SUPPORTING THE GROWTH OF THE CHILD LIFE PROFESSION in the chicagoland area and beyond.
Our goal is to offer supportive relationships, educational resources, networking opportunities, and the ability to earn Professional Development Units (PDU) in a community of likeminded individuals. Together we can work to grow our profession, inform our communities of the important work that we do, and enhance each other’s work through collaborative practice.

The Chicagoland Association of Child Life Professionals are launching a Board of Directors to help guide our mission and tap into knowledge of the many years of experience some of our more veteran CCLS’s have. More information to come in the 2024 year! If you have questions, please reach out to Past President, Siobhan Cannon.
