Abstract
This paper reports on a pilot study into youth workers’ stories of practice. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected via semi structured interviews with ten youth workers in order to develop a meaningful dialogue about their practice and the realities of their professional role with young people. The diverse group of participants reflected positively on enjoyable and creative aspects of their work, some of the dilemmas they faced and experiences which had made a lasting impression. They characterised their work as being ‘young people centred’, ‘about beginnings and not end products’ and ‘a privilege’.
