The fundamental aim of youth work is to build trusting and mutually
respectful relationships with young people, creating transformative
experiences for young people in formal and informal spaces outside
of homes and schools. These complex and multidimensional situations
mean that the day-to-day work of youth workers is full of dilemmas,
pitting moral, developmental, motivational, organizational, and
other concerns against each other. By showing how different youth
workers respond to a variety of such dilemmas, this authentic text
makes visible youth workers' unique knowledge and skills, and
explores how to work with challenging situations - from the
everyday to the extraordinary. Beginning by setting out a framework
for dilemma resolution, it includes a number of narrative-based
chapters, in which youth workers describe and reflect on dilemmas
they have faced, the knowledge and experiences they brought to bear
on them and alternative paths they could have taken. Each chapter
closes with a discussion from the literature about themes raised in
the chapter, an analysis of dilemma and a set of overarching
discussion questions designed to have readers compare and contrast
the cases, consider what they would do in the situation, and
reflect on their own practice. Teaching us a great deal about the
norms, conventions, continuities, and discontinuities of youth
work, this practical book reveals essential dimensions of the
profession and contributes to a practice-based theoretical
foundation of youth work.
