Working with Boys and Young Men
This training course provides all the information needed for participants to deliver a one-day training course for those who work with young people on the theme of 'working with boys and young men'.
Most youth work programmes are open to young women and young men; however there may sometimes be a need for these groups to have their own individual space. This gives them the opportunity to discuss and consider issues that may be awkward to discuss in a mixed gender setting.
