#EducationNeedsYouthWork will highlight why youth work is crucial to Scottish education. It’s about ensuring every young person has access to youth work as an integral part of their educational journey. 

Why? – because young people tell us youth work should be part of their education. 

Throughout the week, we’ll present compelling evidence showcasing the pivotal impact of youth work across school and post-school learning. 

Our goals:

Join us as we raise the profile of our work and amplify the voices of our young people, sharing their experiences of how youth work has shaped their learning. 

From re-engaging with school to providing safe spaces, their stories are at the heart of this movement for education change.  

Who are we targeting? Decision-makers in education reform, school leaders, attainment advisors, and all of those involved in Scottish education. 

• Investment of Pupil Equity Fund (PEF) and Strategic Equity Funding (SEF) in strong youth work partnerships.
• Champion the voice of young people in education reform.
• Integrate youth work into the learner journey, ensuring its recognition within school and post-school education through Education Reform.
