Effective Detached Youth Work
27/01/2022, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Detached youth work creates a unique environment for non-formal and social education to take place within the community. From building confidence and teamwork to developing life and employability skills, detached work tackles the issues in the places young people choose to meet.
This workshop is for anyone new to street-based youth work. Exploring the different development stages from assessing young peoples’ need, making contact and participation through to evaluation and planning exit strategies, this training provides a sound understanding of the ethos and practice of detached youth work.
