About Leading work with young people

This course introduces key principles and ideas concerning leadership in work with young people - particularly aged 13-19 - in areas of practice where their participation is voluntary, and the aims relate to informal education. It takes leadership to be a process of working with and through others to achieve shared objectives. It views leadership not only as linked to hierarchical position, but also as dispersed throughout the organisation, occurring at all levels - including that of the young people who are the 'clients or 'users of the services.
