New: Journeying together: youth work through the Youth or Adult? initiative

This dvd and booklet explore the Foundation’s experience over 21 years to give answers to the questions around the essence of the work we support; how we grow skilled workers in communities; and what the wider impact of our investment is?

New: Journeying together: growing youth work and youth workers in local communities.

The book explores a way of working - pioneered and developed over 22 years by the Rank Foundation’s Youth or Adult? initiative. Youth or Adult? has ‘grown’ youth work by supporting individuals to train professionally, while working in community-based organizations. Through this investment in people, the work is having a lasting impact within communities.

Grounded in workers’ personal experiences, as well as in relevant theory, Journeying together explores the experiences of community-based organizations, volunteers, part-time and full-time workers, and provides questions for both non-specialists and experts to consider. Available from Amazon.
