Youth Work Week 2010

"Youth work needs all the recognition it can get at the moment as the pressure on local authorities' budgets continues to tighten. Across the board we need to be far more vocal in showcasing the amazing achievements youth work approaches have in transforming young lives, particularly for the most vulnerable young people in our society. We need people to understand that youth work interventions made now often save the public purse a fortune in the future."

Fiona Blacke, Chief Executive, National Youth Agency

It is for this reason that the National Youth Agency has decided to reintroduce Youth Work Week to raise the profile of the work and increase awareness among politicians, both local and national, as well as the general public.

Make a note in your diaries that 1 to 7 November will be Youth Work Week 2010, with the theme of "celebrating great youth work".

Spread the word. Let the National Youth Agency know your plans and we'll help promote them through this site and our pages in Children and Young People Now magazine.
