About
Youth workers work with young people aged 13-19, encouraging them, providing them with support and helping them to achieve their potential. The primary focus of youth work is on the personal, SOCIAL, cultural and educational development of young people in the community.
The majority of youth work projects are designed to help disaffected youths with social problems, who live in communities that are affected by crime, unemployment and anti-social behavior. Youth workers may also, on occasion, provide help, support and guidance to PEOPLE as young as 11, and as old as 25.
