	developing youth work @ the informal education archives
		As such, the work is further threatened both by the development of very different forms of practice directed at many of the areas that youth workers have claimed as their own, and by the growing diversity of organizational settings in which workers are located.
		If youth workers are to make that contribution and retain a unique identity and distinctive forms of working, they must address a number of fundamental philosophical and political questions, and develop the necessary theory.
		With the development of modern leisure forms, the emergence of organic approaches to youth work and changes in what the middle classes expected of intervention, there was a significant shift in the generalized character of practice in the 1930s and 1940s.

		Moreover, the youth work occupation is at different developmental stages in each country, with the United States being a relative novice.
		In contrast, the youth work field in the United States has yet to demonstrate to the public a clear difference and distance from mainstream schooling.
		In the United Kingdom, youth work is frequently referred to as “personal and social development.” Workers operate through structured programs and spontaneous interventions to create learning opportunities that reflect wider social issues.

	Quote of the Day
		Over the years youth work in Ireland has been struggling to develop an identity of its own; an ethos and conceptual framework that is particular to that discipline, as opposed to being seen as an offshoot of social work, probation work or even sport and recreation activities.
		Youth work provides opportunities and support to young people, for association, the development of personal autonomy, and the essential values and competencies to participate effectively in a changing society (O’Sulllvan 1980, p.12).
		Too much youth work practice has remained at a recreational level and not enough thought has been given to standing back and evaluating the work, asking; 'why do we do what we do’?’, ‘what is the purpose of it?’, ‘what is its aim?'.

	The Forum for Youth Investment
		Youth work, to be sure, is still less understood than the teaching profession, but it is finally being recognized as a vocation that calls for complementary, but not identical, skills, orientations and aptitudes.
		To be sure, there are youth workers who are good teachers, and teachers who are good youth workers, but the basic demands of the jobs are different because of intentional differences in the structure of these settings and the purpose of the work.
		For those working in socially and economically impoverished neighborhoods across the country, the need for good teaching and good youth work is so great that it is difficult to do one well without doing a lot of the other.

	articles : Post-Relational Youth Ministry: Beyond Youth Work as We Know It : Youth Specialties
		The scriptural basis for relational youth work is that we seek to follow the pattern of Jesus who built relationships with his disciples and revealed himself to them.
		It seems the call to ecclesiological youth work is a call to grow together with other people, to live differently—not just compulsively drive ourselves into the ground as youth workers trying to attend every school event.
		Ecclesiological youth work respects and learns from the Church of the past and pushes into what it means to be the Church of today.

	Quote of the Day
		We believe that recent thinking about child and youth work as a professional discipline has not focussed sufficiently on the relationship between the discipline itself on the one hand, and its professional status on the other hand.
		The outcome of such studies commonly involves the identification of a series of steps that need to be taken by child and youth workers in order for child and youth work to become and to be recognized as a professional discipline (Austin, 1981; Kelly, 1990; Mateff, 1997).
		The discipline of child and youth work has not been sufficiently differentiated from other related disciplines, and the role of the child and youth worker, particularly in the context of multi-disciplinary treatment teams, remains largely undefined.

	Youth Work in a Changing World
		Years of financial uncertainty have certainly had an impact on youth work provision and, in a climate of uncertainty, it is difficult to experiment with new methods of working.
		Youth clubs and uniformed groups tended to be seen as particularly helpful in providing young people with the opportunity to try out different activities and as a source of help with personal problems with youth clubs being seen as an important source of information on personal and social issues.
		Youth workers also need to be aware of the ways in which different organisations either appeal to certain groups of young people or clash with their own cultural identifications.

	The role of street-based youth work in linking socially excluded young people into education, training and work
		While working with a mix of young people, the projects studied were successfully reaching and working with large numbers of the most socially excluded young people.
		Some street-based youth workers were concerned about this, having previously worked on the basis that confidentiality between the young person and the worker or project was sacrosanct.
		While it appears that street-based youth work can, and does, contribute to the control of young people, such control is usually rooted in a relationship of mutual trust and respect.

		Street-based youth work with vulnerable young people who are not in education, training or employment has expanded significantly in recent years.
		Many of the youth workers interviewed expressed concern about the effects that their closer involvement in crime prevention and community safety initiatives might have on the way their role was perceived by young people.
		Extending street-based youth work to provide projects in the most deprived 5 per cent of areas in England and Wales would cost around £24 million a year, according to calculations commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation to accompany the report.
