The National Youth Agency: Youth work training placements in USA

Youth Work
The American Youth Work Center's Practical Training Program based in Washington DC, is offering youth workers the opportunity to apply for training placements in the USA.

Two programmes are available - 18-month and three- to 12-month. The 18-month programme enables early career foreign youth workers to receive practical experience working with troubled young people on outdoor and wilderness programmes, drug and alcohol abuse counselling or in homeless youth shelters. The shorter placement offers current and recent graduates the chance to work in seasonal youth camps on similar programmes. To find out more, email Lauren Stewart at the American Youth Work Center on lauren@aywc.org.
