Targeted Youth Work

Youth Work is usually a generic service with open access to all young people aged 12 to 18 years. However some Youth Work is targeted towards specific groups including those within a specific age range or gender, but also targeting those who are vulnerable, disadvantaged or have specific needs.

Examples of targeted youth work could include projects targeting 16 year olds who are about to make decisions on their future or projects to support young parents. The flexibility of Youth Work enables it to respond to the specific needs of all young people.
