Abstract

Youth workers guide healthy development of children, youth, families and, ultimately, the neighborhoods in which they serve. Youth workers connect youth in positive ways with adults and organize relationships across whole communities to solve problems and meet social challenges. This article explores pathways for the development of youth workers as leaders in the nonprofit sector. Recommendations for high quality certification and training are presented from a summit of 20 youth work leaders convened to report the state of training, certification, higher education, and supports for the field of youth work.
