Intro to Youth Work for Young Leaders - 11 & 18 June 2022

Intro to Youth Work for Young Leaders is a practical course for young people who are or are aspiring to be young leaders within their youth group/club.

Young people (14 – 18) will learn how to:

• help create a safe space for other young people
• plan, deliver and evaluate fun youth work sessions and games
• support other young people’s wellbeing through a peer mentoring approach

This course brings together element's of Youth Scotland’s well known Ready for Youth Work training (for youth work staff and volunteers) and Place2Be’s Y2Bee Peer Mentor Training.

It provides young leaders with a great opportunity to improve their skills, knowledge and confidence in supporting other young people.

The course will be delivered over 2 full days with accreditation available at SCQF level 3.
