Why study Community Development and Youth?

The world isn’t a perfect place and it needs good people to focus on how things can be better, and to help the next generation have the best chance they can to succeed. Knowing how to engage with a community and get it working towards positive goals is one of the best ways to do this.

When we grow up in good communities, everything is better. Good communities create happy people that care for and support each other, and stop vulnerable people falling through the cracks in hard times.

That’s why degrees in Community Development and Youth Work can be so incredibly fulfilling. Nurturing kids towards constructive life goals and away from some of the troubles they all too easily fall into is a truly admirable commitment. It’s also a great way to work around youth development that isn’t just based in a classroom.
