Welcome back for Youth Work Week
16 July 2010
The week will take place between 1 and 7 November to promote the value of youth work and raise its profile with politicians and the public. It will take the theme of 'celebrating great youth work.'
NYA chief executive Fiona Blacke said: "We need to be far more vocal in showcasing the amazing achievements of youth work in transforming young lives, particularly for the most vulnerable young people. We need people to understand that youth work interventions made now often save the public purse in the future. Youth Work Week can help achieve this.
"What happens during the week will be up to the young people and youth organisations who choose to take part, but we hope everyone will take advantage of it to promote and celebrate their own activities and successes."
The agency will be producing a range of free resources to support the week later in the summer. These will be available on our website at
