| + | Youth work has three essential features: | ||
| + | * Young people choose to participate | ||
| + | * The work takes place where the young people are | ||
| + | * It recognises that the young person and the youth worker are partners in a learning process | ||

| + | Youth work encompasses a broad range of activities (eg social, cultural, educational, sports-related and political) carried out with, by and for young people through non-formal and informal learning. Its value is recognised in the Council conclusions on youth work and highlighted in a study released in 2014. | ||

| + | Youth work helps young people to reach their full potential. It encourages personal development, autonomy, initiative and participation in society. Youth work provides out-of-school education, as well as leisure activities managed by professional or voluntary youth workers and youth leaders. It is organised in different ways – through youth-led organisations, organisations for youth, informal groups or youth services and public authorities. Youth work is delivered in different forms and settings (eg open-access, group-based, programme-based, outreach, and detached) at local, regional, national, and European level. Its effectiveness has led to an increasing number of organisations – such as those working in youth justice and health improvement – to develop a youth work approach. This enables young people who might otherwise be alienated from support to get the services they need. | ||
