I decided to make today my last post. While Youth Work Week continues until Sunday, my working week has now finished. This particular week because I did 3 long days I'm not in today though I've sat down finally after a hectic day catching up on housework, and preparing for rainbows and I still find myself looking through volunteer roles and staffing over the next week as well as looking closely at my diary to work out next week's hours.
While I have enjoyed blogging this week there are so many more aspects of our job. We manage buildings, budgets, staff, targeted projects in schools, and then in the evenings we run open sessions in buildings or we do street based work in places like parks and areas that may sometimes have Anti Social Behaviour, working with groups to discuss issues like sexual health drugs and alcohol and also trying to help them be more involved in their communities whether thats decision making or finding something for them to do. My young people are also keen fundraisers and enjoy putting on events for the community.
It's the variety in the work that I find the most interesting, from the fun parties and trips to the times when you are genuinely helping young people with anger management, sexual health advice and more often than not helping shape their future selves.
I would appreciate it if for today's post, you guys who are reading this! If you have ever had been worked with my Youth Workers whether paid or volunteers, I would love to see a comment about what you feel they did for you.
and if you would like to read more about what youth work is see the NYA and also this infed article gives a bit of info about the role.
Thanks again everyone for reading!

Thursday 6th November 2014
After the manic start to the beginning of the week by Thursday I usually have a few quiet days left to my week. Luckily today I get a later start so I can chill out with the dog before work.
11am-I've had a few e-mails since a last got chance to check yesterday so I start of my morning replying and have a glance over my to do list. Usually Thursday/Friday are my get your head down and work days as I don't have many groups of young people on those days. Today I decided to tackle our Volunteer Job Descriptions. We've had young people volunteer at the centre for a number of years now but each year we have more interest. Many of our members are doing a local award in volunteering. To complete this they need to completed a training course about child protection, working with others and many more skills. They also set themselves targets and goals. Other young people are completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and choose to volunteer with us. Over the past few weeks we've had too many people for roles that we had, so as a staff team we sat down the other week and thought of some tasks that staff could support young people to complete such as staffing the coffee bar area, helping send out letters, running sports activities, and running the committee.
12pm-Every Thursday during term time I work with a school group which are part of a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit). The are only a small team which means they don't get to have as many facilities as bigger schools may have so for a bit of a treat and in exchange for me 'informally educating them' for some of the time they call in to the centre. Many of the pupils who attend are in between other schools for many different reasons, usually its a bit like being a piece of a jigsaw that would fit better elsewhere. Today we I gave them a 5 minute run through of my 'alcohol on the brain' activity explain how it affects your brain as you drink more and more. We then did a bit of crafts and games and discussed doing some baking next week for Children in Need.
1:30pm-With so much stuff going off earlier this week, I now need to chase up many other projects and after a chat about girls groups, pop up shops and more volunteer opportunities I head over to the other centre with a load of resources for the evening.
4pm-Couple more meetings this afternoon about progressing some projects and I finally head out of work for the day....
Now usually I've been talking about work stuff so I'd finish there but Thursdays when I'm not needed elsewhere at work I am a Guide/Senior Section leader. I've been in the guiding movement since I was 8 and where possible like to help out, sadly I ended up letting the girls down a bit this week as a ran out of time to sort the activity I hoped to do but I did find a nice giant poppy activity (I'll add the link incase anyone wants to give it a go!)
6:30pm Arrive at Guides and set group off making poppies while pointing out how they best not make a mess as the Rainbows, with whom I'll be doing a similar activity tomorrow, are amazingly good at tidying up and they are 5yrs old!
7:30pm-Break off to chat with one of the Young Leaders about how she is doing at Brownies with her qualification and sign some paperwork.
8pm- Return to guides to find double sided tape stuck to tables and white scraps of paper all over the floor and proceed to lecture them about how I had high hopes for them, while showing them pictures of the Rainbows and there fantastic ability to do things. (better luck next week girls!)
10pm-While writing blog post consider setting up a competition between Guides and Rainbows to see who is the best at tidying up, the 5-7 year olds or the 10-14yr olds!??!?

Wednesday 5th of November 2014
Today has been one of those days where you feel like you've got nothing done even though you've been busy all day!
9:30am- I got into work today and had a busy morning of meetings and then spent the rest of the morning setting up the furniture and clearing up from last nights party.
12pm-After an early lunch me an a colleague got started on our plan for the day discussing our new and exciting confidence group. We work with local schools to offer groups for young people who maybe feel a bit more shy and need some extra support to be more confident in schools and the community.
1pm- We have our lunch time buddies drop in every wednesday during the school term. The buddies are a group of y10 pupil who are volunteers and have completed training about child protection and listening skills. They support the y6 transition from primary to secondary school.
Once the pupils are at secondary school the y10 pupils go into form and help out so that if the new y7's have any issues but don't feel they can talk to an adult, they have someone that can help them and advocate on their behalf.
The Buddies drop in is an opportunity where the buddies can invite some of the quieter members of their form to come and use the centre. It helps them build friendships and gives them a safe space to talk about any issues with other young people and staff.
2pm-We now have an hour to type and file registers, check e-mails and sort out the task for the evening before our Enterprise group.
3pm-The school day has finished so we run an after school project where young people can come and set up a business of their own and maybe even win a prize! We had a good few teams come and also some help from other specialist professionals who know their stuff when it comes to business.
The idea of the project is that it helps raise the aspirations of young people and realise that they can achieve great things even at a young age. It also helps them to get a job in the future as a lot of the skills are transferable.
4pm- Some of our young volunteers arrive who are doing their Duke of Edinburgh award and we set them off with some tasks such as planning a Children in Need event for next friday and filling some paperwork.
5pm- Once all of the group have left me and a colleague finish tidying up the centre ready for tonights group to come in. We take a number of phone calls about different projects and from parents about what we have going off, and also have to deal with some staffing issues.
6pm- As my plans for yesterday changed so much I spend the rest of the time before the evening group working out what urgently needs doing this week and what can wait until next week. I pay some bills and check the stock cupboard as staff arrive.
7pm- Our Senior night starts at centre two. This group is called an open access session. Many of the young people come to chill out and spend time with their friends. It is our jobs as youth workers to make that time count! We do activities such as cooking which helps to develop life skills, but also we informally educate young people about things like drugs, alcohol, smoking etc. Every conversation matters as we are acting as positive role models for young people and are often who young people turn to for help when they don't feel they can talk to parents about certain topics.
7:30pm- I head out of centre two and make sure everything is good at centre one's (LDD) Learning Difficulty & Disability Group. This group offers young people a chance to socialise and build relationships with their peers and other adults. as with the senior night much of the time is spent on informal education.
8pm-I finally get away from centre one but only because I promise to cook with the group next week :)
9pm-Tea in oven, feet up Tv on and relax!

Monday 3rd of November 2014
Welcome to the first day of National Youth Work Week 2014!!
I thought the best way to blog about what its like to work as a Youth Worker was to run through my day in an average week. I hope you find it interesting and learn a bit more about what we Youth Workers do! :)
10am- Mondays is one of my longest days of the week, I start by planning my week and working out my hours/days before going into a meeting with my colleagues. In this meeting we talk a lot about the behind the scenes work such as covering sickness, completion of paperwork deadlines. Sometime we have guest speakers in talking about a new project happening in the area that our young people may be interested in or sometimes asking us to help with research and consultation.
12pm-Lunch time and time to start catching up on some of my e-mails, as well as checking all the staff have completed paperwork to make sure they are paid.
1pm- Job Club. We run this with another service who come in and help young people who are out of work, not in training or education to look at their options. They know quite a bit about local job and also can help them clear up any benefit problems they might have had. It helps to have it in our centre as some young people don't want to travel all the way into town or aren't comfortable doing it.
3pm- Health Drop in. We work on this with nurses who can help give young people advice on lots of different subjects, such as stopping smoking, sexual health and lots of other issues. We also do C-card which is where we give out condoms to young people who have shown they can meet certain criteria and know what they are doing by thinking about becoming sexually active.
4pm-I now have a couple of hours to catch up on some more of the behind the scenes work!! E-mails, finish researching ideas for tomorrows party, make posters. pay graffiti artist for half term workshop, mileage, take a phone call from reception as a young person turned up at other centres to see what is on this week, catch up on accounts, print off worksheets for project night and grab some tea!! few!
7pm-Welcome young people for our project night. We started last week to look at alcohol and how it affects your body. I did a lot of talking but didn't go too bad and we got through a lot of the project. We also got chance to chat about the Pre-bonfire Party tomorrow night which is a special event (diversionary activity)
9:30pm- The centre is all packed up, contacted the dance teacher for tomorrow and grabbed my to do list!! With 2 big events on at the same time tomorrow, I've lots to organise through the day to make sure everything is in place.

The begining
Monday the 3rd of November marks the start of National Youth Work Week 2014.
My Name is Charlotte and I am a Youth Worker.
I decided to do this blog because not many people fully understand what youth work really is, how varied it can be, and what it means in real terms for young people and their communities.
So here is a bit about my journey so far...
I have always been interested in working with children and first thought about going into child psychology. This was driven a lot by my experiences of being bullied as a child. I first met youth workers around the age of 10 by getting involved in summer schemes at our local youth centre. at 14 a followed my mum's footsteps to become a volunteer with the guide association as a young leader at rainbows. If I'm honest I found brownies far too annoying which is why to this day I help at Rainbows, Guides and Senior Section only!
I attended my first youth club session at 12 with my boyfriend. We went for a swim and just chilled out, I don't even remember meeting any adults there but I'm sure we were well supervised. As I got older I was asked to help out with a summer scheme that was short staffed which was for young people in a deprived area. At 18 years old it became clear to me the benefits of having something like this going off. Some of the children were on free school meals so when summer came, they got hungry!
I then went of to university to study psychology and when finding myself short of cash happened to come across my very first job as a Youth Worker at 19. I loved it!! It was a busy centre, so busy they had to chunk up the young people into year groups and we regularly had over 100 attending per night.
On my first night working at this centre a young person revealed that she was concerned about her brother and worried that he might be on drugs. still being a teenager myself I quickly learnt how different everyone can be. I always felt able to talk to my parents about pretty much everything but not everyone was in that boat! Some people had issues at home, some would have been in so much trouble if they shared with their parents what the told me! I was shocked my how much help and support young people needed and also by how much I could give. and to be honest I just fell in love with youth work from there!
13 years later and I am lucky enough to have a full-time job managing two centres, 18 members of staff and work with hundreds of amazing young people!!
...So Why do this blog?
I felt now was a good time to share the love and show people what we really do as Youth Workers out there in the world!!
Please follow and I hope you enjoy my adventures over the coming week!!
