Never before have youth services and youth work been given such a pivotal role in meeting local outcomes. The Government’s 10 Year Youth Strategy committed public services to ensure that young people are empowered to shape, and have access to, positive activities and high quality youth support services. With potential for new funding, local authorities in partnership with health, youth justice and the third sector have new PSA targets to meet which will ensure young people have every opportunity to aim high.

Youth in the Community 2008 will bring together Government Ministers, local decision makers, senior managers and young people to look at how to work together to provide young people with the services they need and want for a bright future – everyone’s future.
