Youth Work Students
Youth Workers
We have lots going on, and we always have something new in development. However, we always always need to know that what we're working on is relevant to youth workers and young people alike, and that there's a real need for what we're planning to offer.
That's why we have 4 Focus Groups, which are just groups of people who are happy for us to ask them for their opinions on what we're doing. This is usually only once a month, and takes about 30 - 60 minutes of their time; but what they tell us is invaluable in help[ing to keep our work relevant and useful.
All of our Focus Groups are 'Virtual' - we send out an email each month with up to 3 documents or links for the group members to look at and provide feedback on. There are no meetings to attend, and you can literally take part at any time of day, anywhere you like. It even counts as Volunteering!
To join a focus group, email: focusgroups@youthworkhub.co.uk
This group is for youth workers, including volunteers.
