“The Level 1 course at Avenues showed me that youth work is so much more than just spending time with young people. I learned vital skills, from how to run sessions safely to the importance of being honest and supportive. It’s boosted my confidence, helped me shine in interviews, and even led to opportunities as a support worker. The skills I’ve gained will stay with me throughout university, work, and beyond”
