This is the book that youth workers who want to put into practice
their desire to "meet youth where they're at" have been waiting
for. Narrative Approaches to Youth Work provides hope-filled and
fresh conversational practices anchored in a critical
intersectional analysis of power and a relational ethic of care.
These practices help youth workers answer the all-too-common
question, what do I do when I do youth work? The concepts and
skills presented in this book position youth workers to do youth
work in ways that honor youth agency and resistance to oppression,
invite a multiplicity of possibilities, and situate youth and youth
workers alike within broader social contexts that influence their
lives and their relationship together. Drawing on the author's
30-plus years of working alongside young people and training youth
workers in contexts ranging from recreation centers to homeless
shelters, this book provides a rich and deliberate mix of
theoretical grounding, practical application, real-life vignettes,
and questions for in-depth self-reflection. Throughout Narrative
Approaches to Youth Work, readers hear from a wise and thoughtful
squad of youth workers talking about how they strive to do socially
just, accountable, critical youth work.
