In Motion for Inclusion

It is very important to empower youth workers in the involvement of young people from disadvantaged groups because:
-Youth workers build trust and rapport with young people. They can be able to create a safe and supportive environment where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing their concerns. This trust is essential for building relationships with young people from disadvantaged groups, who may have had negative experiences with authority figures in the past.
-Youth workers are able to connect young people with resources and opportunities. They can help young people find the support they need to overcome the challenges they face.
-They can advocate for the needs of young people from disadvantaged groups. Youth workers can speak out against discrimination and prejudice, and they can work to create more inclusive communities. This advocacy can help to create a more just and equitable society where all young people have the opportunity to succeed.

In addition to these reasons, youth workers play a significant role in the involvement of youth from disadvantaged groups because they are often the only adults in these young people’s lives who believe in them and their potential. Youth workers can provide these young people with the encouragement and support they need to achieve their goals.
