In March 2016, youth worker organisations from across the Commonwealth joined forces to establish an international coalition to advocate for the interests of young people and spearhead efforts to professionalise the youth work sector.
The steering committee include the national voices of Sierra Leone, Jamaica, England, Pakistan, India, Australia, Malta, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand.
We’re each contributing to this blog in order to tell our national stories of professionalisation, to feed back on the work the steering committee to our people at home, and create an international dialogue about the professionalisation of youth work. We want to share our successes, challenges and thinking as we work together to build an alliance that serves our aspirations- to raise the standard and status of youth work by connecting, strengthening and championing youth work professionalisation across the Commonwealth.
