Youth work isn’t just about playing games with the youth or hanging out, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to do with it, from identifying at-risk behaviors to mental health basics, teaching ethics, intercultural engagement, and more. Affordable and professional development training for youth workers is for experienced youth workers, to further their experience and knowledge, and create a more well-rounded professional, as well as those who are brand new to the field looking to boost themselves into a very rewarding career.
One of the main areas you’ll concentrate on in your professional development training for youth workers is diversity, ethics, and inclusion (DEI) ensuring that equity and social justice are where your training is heavily rooted.
If I’m busy with work how will I fit the training around my schedule?
If you do your training online, then there’s a good chance it will be self-paced. This would allow you to fit in as much training as you can around your work because, as vital as professional development training for youth workers is, nobody would want your training to detract from the incredible work you’re already doing looking after the youths who will be this nation’s future.
Will I have many resources to learn from?
There are tons of material available online to allow everyone to coalesce and share knowledge, there are blogs, podcasts, forums, and chat rooms all designed to help youth workers learn and develop together to make sure that youth workers, as a whole, are doing the very best work they can.
