"....It is the quality of engagement and extent to which young people can shape encounters that are more important" (Ord 2007).
As youth workers, we purposely intervene in their lives to create opportunities and conversations to allow the youth to feel, act, or behave differently towards their environment.
In order to be a better youth worker, I must have a better understanding of my own self. My own identity impacts how I work and engage with others.
holistically- in a way that deals with or treats the whole of something or someone and not just a part
welfare practice- promotes the welfare and safety of young people
professional practitioner- having the integrity and willingness to act as a role model and a critical friend
