Youth Work in Wales

Youth Work in Wales involves supporting and empowering young people through activities, guidance, and skills development. It aims to help them grow as confident, independent individuals capable of making positive choices. Practitioners build trusting relationships, offer mentorship, and facilitate opportunities for learning, social inclusion, and active participation in their communities. Funded by the Welsh Government and other organizations, youth work takes place in various settings like community centers, schools, and outdoor spaces, addressing diverse needs such as education, mental health, and employability to promote overall well-being and social cohesion.
