One of the distinctive contributions of youth work is to help young people to have more control over their lives. Whether it's about the running of their own clubs and projects or having much wider influence over public services, youth work plays a key role in enabling young people to make a contribution.
All youth organisations are invited to use Youth Work Week 2008 to reflect on, celebrate and to further develop the way in which they help young people to use their voices and exercise influence.
The NYA will produce an information pack for Youth Work Week by July. In the meantime check back in these pages and on The NYA website as we'll occasionally be adding more information in due course. If you have ideas or plans for the week that you would like to share, drop a line to Tim Burke at timb@nya.org.uk.
