Youth workers guide and support young people in their personal, social and educational development to help them reach their full potential
As a youth worker, you’ll set, organise and run community programmes aimed at young people aged between 11 and 25. Through these programmes, you’ll help them to explore and understand their ideas, values and beliefs, building their confidence and life skills so that they can make a successful transition to adulthood.
You’ll work in a variety of settings, such as:
* colleges
* faith-based groups
* schools
* youth centres.
You may also deliver targeted street work to engage with high-risk young people.
Youth work relies on voluntary engagement with young people, so you’ll need to build relationships based on trust in order to support and empower them.
