Course Description
Community youth work involves working with young people in their own communities. A professional community youth worker will help young people build skills to navigate their social world and their future. They will engage in activities that have a learning purpose but are also fun. Community youth workers build connections with young people to help them develop their thinking and emotions, help them to express themselves and take action to shape society.
The programme provides students with the professional Community Youth Work qualification, which is a JNC endorsed qualification, recognised by NSETS, (North South Education and Training Standards committee). This professional qualification is recognised by employers throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. This course equips youth workers with a wide range of skills, values and knowledge to work in professional settings with many agencies that work with young people.
