ADVOCACY

Our definition of youth work ECYC believes that the purpose of Youth Work is to offer young people, on the basis of their voluntary involvement, developmental and educational experiences which will equip them to play an active part in our democratic society as well as meet their own developmental needs. Youth Work takes place in youth clubs, youth projects, youth centres, youth houses as well as on the street through detached youth work. Youth Work offers, to those who participate important lifelong learning experiences within the transitional period between childhood and adulthood. The lifelong learning cycle then continues as young people attain leadership and volunteering roles within their organisations.

That’s it!
