Youth workers

As a Youth Worker, you play a key role in the lives of young men and women in a rapidly changing society. You actively engage with young people in a variety of contexts and environments, while recognising and understanding the social, economic, cultural and ethnic diversities that shape our world today.

• Work with a considerable degree of autonomy and accountability
• Establish and maintain working relationships with young people
• Facilitate youth development and empowerment
• Provide leadership to young people and youth leaders
• Integrate theory and practice at a senior level
