“Youth work is one of the most powerful community based assets we have to help us create a better society. The practice nurtures confidence and boosts educational attainment. It stimulates personal development and helps young people manage relationships. It provides volunteering opportunities and assists young people who come into contact with the law. It aids a young person’s mental health and contributes positively to respecting and promoting the fundamental rights of children and young people in Scotland.” – Kevin Kane, Policy & Research Manager for YouthLink Scotland
