Includes bibliographical references and index.

Passionately argued, this book articulates a new and urgent case for youth work. Drawing on his extensive experience as a union leader for youth workers in the UK, Doug Nicholls argues for sweeping cultural change within the youth sector, identifying the important things youth workers have achieved and the major changes that must take place if they are to keep up with the radically altered world. Examining a wide range of theories from various practices, government policies, and international scholarship, he speaks to youth workers with wit, wisdom, and warmth about their lives.
