Advocacy

We have two inter-related strands to our work on advocacy. The first addresses issues affecting young people and the second relates to the development of the youth work sector.

We are committed to playing a leadership role in advocating on issues that impact on the lives of young people through a policy agenda that is rooted in the experience of young people that our member organisations serve and represent.

Through this enhanced advocacy role we will aim to actively raise the profile of youth work to enhance its status and increase the resources available to those involved in the youth sector. We will strive to achieve this by promoting youth work to government, statutory and voluntary agencies and within the media.
