youth information worker
Youth information workers deliver youth information, guidance and counselling services in a variety of settings in order to empower young people and support their wellbeing and autonomy. They ensure that those services are accessible, resourced and welcoming for young people and run activities aimed at reaching the entire youth population, by means that are effective and appropriate for different groups and needs. Youth information workers aim to enable young people to make their own informed choices and become active citizens. They work in close partnership with other services.
