A Youth Officer supports young people, often between the ages of 12 and 25, in their personal, social, and educational development. You might work in community centres, schools, or youth organisations, providing guidance, organising activities, and offering counselling. Youth Officers focus on helping young people achieve their potential, fostering positive behaviours, and encouraging participation in community and educational programs.
Youth Officers play a crucial role in the lives of young people. You’ll need to be empathetic, patient, and able to relate to young people from diverse backgrounds. You’ll collaborate with families, schools, and community groups to ensure the young people in your care receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
