THE PURPOSE OF YOUTH WORK IN WALES
The purpose of youth work in Wales is:
- To promote and actively encourage equality of opportunity for all young people in order that they may fulfil their potential as empowered individuals and as members of groups and communities.
- To actively support young people through significant changes in their lives and assist them to understand their rights and responsibilities during their transition to adulthood.
- To encourage young people to develop knowledge, understanding, attitudes and values this enables them to make purposeful use of their skills, resources and time.
Youth work, through its voluntary relationships with young people, offers inclusive opportunities to learning that are:
EDUCATIVE – Enabling young people to gain skills, knowledge, understanding, attitudes and values needed to identify, advocate and pursue their rights and responsibilities as individuals and as members of groups and communities, locally, nationally and internationally.
EXPRESSIVE – Encouraging and enabling young people to express their emotions and aspirations, through creative, sporting and challenging opportunities which raise an awareness of:
|

|
|
|
PARTICIPATIVE – Where young people are encouraged to share responsibility and to become equal partners, fundamental to the learning processes and decision making structures which affect their own and other people’s lives and environments.
EMPOWERING – Encouraging and enabling young people to understand their rights and responsibilities so that they are able to act on the personal, social and political issues which affect their lives and the lives of others; as responsible citizens of the communities of which they are a part.
PROMOTE EQUALITY FOR ALL
They should:
- challenge oppression and inequality
- promote acceptance of the differences that spring from race, sexual identity, gender, disability, age, religion and class.
- recognise the importance of the Welsh language and its heritage, other languages, and the diversity of cultures in Wales.
MISSION STATEMENT – FOCUS ON YOUTH
The Youth Service in Bridgend County Borough is concerned with the fundamental and personal development of young people between the ages of 11-25.

Through the work of the Youth Service young people are supported in a process that enables them to become citizens within their communities.
