Youth Work
Youth work helps young people learn about themselves, others and
society, through informal educational activities which combine
enjoyment, challenge and learning.
Youth workers, work primarily with young people aged between 13
and 19, but may in some cases extend this to those aged 11 to 13
and 19 to 25. Their work seeks to promote young people’s personal
and social development and enable them to have a voice, influence
and place in their communities and society as a whole.
To sign up for becoming a youth worker you can find out more on
the National Youth
Agency website or look at the currently Youth Work
Opportunities available on the Training and Learning Section.
