Compare the ways in which youth work has changed over time by considering factors that have influenced it. When looking into the ways youth work has changed over time it showed that there is a big difference in the way they were run then and by the way they are run now. But even though it shows a big difference in the way that they were run, it stills shows similarities to the way youth work is today. This assignment is going to look at the early origins of youth work and what influenced provisions to be put in place for the young people in the first place; it’s also going to look into changes that have occurred around youth work and what or who has influenced these changes and argue the strengths and weaknesses of these changes. The first early provisions that were put into place aimed at young people were Sunday schools and Ragged schools.

Title Tess Kay & Steven Bradbury (2009): Youth sport volunteering: developing social capital?, Sport, Education and Society, 14:1, 121-140 Topic This paper analyses the use of sport volunteering within the youth and how it contributes and affects the development of social capital. In reviews conducted with the UK, it emerged that social capital is a key theme in developing sporting policies. This paper outlines that by providing young people with a structured sports volunteering programme, they can be equipped with the skills for volunteering while creating opportunities for ‘social connectedness’ through networking. It also examines the effectiveness of these programmes on participants, how readily these participants would commit to future voluntary community activities and if continual support would be beneficial to the wider community. The paper’s research and findings along with the programmes examined are all based in the UK.
Youth Mentoring New programs have been developed in recent years in an attempt to keep children out of trouble and to help them lead more productive lives. One of these programs is youth mentoring. Youth mentoring programs connect youth with responsible adults willing to commit their time to expose the youth to a different way of life and they help reduce truancy, improve grades, and reduce youth crime. Families, schools, and neighborhoods have been the foundation of support for youth in the past, however, with the decline in funding to pubic systems as well as the absence of traditional families (two parent homes) the necessity has arisen for new programs to fill in the gaps (Tierney 2). Finding volunteers can be challenging but the benefits of mentoring have a positive impact on the life of the volunteer as well.

Rehabilitation and reintegration programs are offered to effectively reinforce positive thoughts in youngsters’ minds and aid in returning them into society as a whole. For instance, the “Second Chance Program” works to assist young adults so that they have a wide range of outlooks in determining the consequences to their actions; youth are also required to acknowledge their accomplishments to rebuild their self-esteem. As quoted by an attendee of this program, “these programs help you by showing you how to do it instead of telling you, there is a difference.” From multiple perspectives, prevention programs referred to by the YCJA is a reasonable way to deal with young adulthood who come upon challenging circumstances with the law; Canada would also be labelled as a “better place” with less teenagers that get in
