Sharing the impact of Youth Work 

Every youth worker can tell you how their work has helped shape the lives of ngā rangatahi they work with; who was able to get their driver's license, who developed the confidence that helped them get a part-time job or who has taken on a leadership role in their community. They know the courage and determination it takes each young person to confront their personal challenges. 

​

Too often this impact goes unseen or isn’t recognised in the ways it should be. Our 'Impact of Youth Work' mahi with Hands for Impact is all about telling the story of the collective impact of Youth Work and the youth development sector in Aotearoa. Together, we are creating an SROI analysis and ratio that will demonstrate the impact of our sector, the 'social value' we are bringing to communities across the motu, and to enable youth organisations to better tell their own story.
