Youth work is and always has been concerned with the development of young people’s values. From its beginning, commitments to ‘the improvement of the spiritual and mental condition of young men’ (YMCA 1844 Statement of Purpose), the development of ‘the whole personality of individual boys and girls’ (HMSO 1940) and the desire for young people to ‘better equip themselves to live the life of mature, creative and responsible members of a free society’ (Maud), all expressed aspirations which were centrally concerned not with the activities in which young people participated but with the values they held and the ‘kind of people’ they were to become. (Kerry Young, 1999)
