Youth Work Champions

What is a champion for Youth Work WA?

• A person in the Youth Work sector or wider community that is eager to promote the goals and work of Youth Work WA, who may have services, skills, or resources to offer the Youth Work WA committee and its members.
• A Champion for Youth Work WA may be called upon to promote certain events such as Youth Work Week or the WA Youth Work Awards, or to champion the work of Youth Work WA in promoting professional Youth Work.
• A Champion for Youth Work WA is an important asset and contributor to the work of Youth Work WA, but is not required to become a committee member, attend ongoing meetings, or be eligible for Full Membership.

The Champions for Youth Work WA are a diverse range of people across many sectors, who believe in the importance of a professional youth work sector. The thing they have in common is a commitment to ensuring that young people receive the highest quality, most inclusive service from every youth worker they meet, with the knowledge that every youth worker shares a common Code of Ethics that underpins an equally diverse range of practices.
