Why Study Youth Work?
You must complete the Introduction to Youth Work course before starting the level 2 or 3 Certificate course.
If you are passionate about making an impression on young people’s lives, encouraging them and inspiring them then it is essential that you have the correct tool kit.
Many people naturally have good youth work skills but they often don’t know when, how or why to apply them. There are many variations of youth worker and any decent youth work course will help you to establish and refine the style that will be most effective for you.
Young people, although often looked on in a negative light are often the unrecognised great and the good of our communities and being an effective youth worker can bring continuing rewards and satisfaction, both personally and in your career.
Witnessing the positive changes in individuals, groups and communities changes in which you have played a part and knowing that the skills, games and activities you have learnt from your youth work training have enabled you to make a real difference is one of the most rewarding experiences that a youth worker can have.
The Volunteer Network have been working with young people since 1999 in both community and individual settings. We currently train around 30 youth workers each year, providing one off and on-going supervision services to youth workers in youth clubs and other settings throughout Somerset and beyond.
