This blog is one of a number of stories we will be posting about Youth Work Week 2019.
Community youth work provides young people with a sense of freedom and security, enabling them to meet up, make friends, express themselves and have new experiences outside of school. In doing so, we support young people through the up’s and down’s of adolescence and aim to increase their sense of attachment to their local communities.
Youth work provision can be developed in traditional youth club settings as well as from more bespoke places and spaces within local communities. Community based youth work starts where young people “are at” and is based on voluntary engagement between young people and staff.
