Shwmae, and welcome back to this week’s blog. In this week’s blog we are celebrating Youth Work Week and the amazing work our School Based Youth Worker does.
As we celebrate Youth Work Week, it’s essential to highlight the invaluable contribution of youth work, especially within the context of secondary schools. This annual event offers a unique opportunity to recognize and amplify the efforts of youth workers who dedicate their time and skills to nurturing and guiding young people.
Youth work involves a range of activities aimed at engaging young people in meaningful ways, promoting their personal and social development, and helping them reach their full potential. It is a practice rooted in values of respect, equality, and inclusion, often delivered through informal education and community involvement.
