An architecture for modern youth work

Abstract

While young people's transitions into adult life have become more complex, there are wide variations in young people's experience. The task of public policy and youth work practice is to help young people, especially the disadvantaged, with their transitions. Local services for young people are being reshaped: a new architecture for their design and delivery is proposed. The role of the youth worker is changing, and training and professional development needs to take fuller account of these changes. © 2000 A B Academic Publishers.
