Bath & North East Somerset Council's Youth Service works with young people aged 11-25 years old, although it focuses its' work on those aged 13-19 years. The Youth Service employs a range of full-time and part-time, experienced and professionally trained staff, who support, challenge and enable the learning of young people in order that they may realise their full potential.
This "good youth work" is carried out in a range of settings including dedicated Youth Hubs, on the streets, via mobile provision, in schools and through Youth Service projects. A high proportion of the work is done in partnerships with other departments within the Council and voluntary youth sector providers. This process enables young people to gain new skills, knowledge and understanding to help them negotiate their way through life.
The Youth Service runs youth centres, youth activities, the local Duke of Edinburgh's Award, organises project work on issues such as drugs, participation, crime prevention, community safety, health, homelessness and the environment. To promote the social and economic inclusion of all young people so they can contribute to, influence and be valued as a part of their community and society as a whole.
