Types of Youth Work

In Devon the types of youth work on offer include:

Youth clubs and centres provided by Devon Youth Service or by voluntary and community organisations. These may cater solely for young people, or may incorporate provision for young people within broader community facilities.

Other building-based settings including libraries, village halls, churches and mosques, and schools.

Detached or street work:  meeting and developing purposeful relationships with young people in public spaces, such as parks, bus shelters, shopping centres or on the street.

Mobiles:  vehicles taken to particular localities, offering young people opportunities to meet together, take part in structured programmes and gain access to resources, information and advice.
