The National Youth Agency: Resilient and resourceful are the watchwords for Youth Work Week

1 min read
The National Youth Agency (NYA) has announced the theme for this year's Youth Work Week, running from 1 to 7 November. This will focus on two key qualities that youth workers have always helped impart, and which young people are going to need in spades.

These are being resilient - able to bounce back from life's disappointments and setbacks and to carry on in pursuit of your aspirations; and resourceful - possessing the ability to dig deep yourself and in the environment you are in to find and use resources that help you respond to life's opportunities and risks.

The NYA invites youth work bodies to use the theme to celebrate the ways in which they help young people deal with the difficulties life can place in their way and carry on to enjoy their lives and meet their potential.

Jon Boagey, The NYA's director of communications, commented: "Every year Youth Work Week is used by a wide variety of youth organisations to celebrate the work that they do. Groups are free to use the week in whatever way they want, but we hope this theme may provide a focus for the distinctive contribution of youth work."
