The art of youth work

This book argues that youth work is centrally concerned with making relationships with young people, which support them in creating themselves and the values and meanings shaping and guiding their lives and actions.

However, given the changes for youth work and the Youth Service since 1999, this edition of The Art of Youth Work has been thoroughly revised to examine the implications for youth work purpose, principles and practice in the context of the broader social and political agenda for young people.
