Youth Work at Public Events

Each year Collective members volunteer to work at public events in the Christchurch area, such as Christmas in the Park, Guy Fawkes at the Pier and Classical Sparks.

These events are a great opportunity for Youth Workers to get outside of their normal context of Youth Work practice and experience a different kind of Youth Work, working alongside other Youth Workers they wouldn’t usually work with.
 
During the events Youth Workers divide into teams and engage with young people, making sure they are safe. If a young person is in an unsafe situation, including being intoxicated or in danger, we run a tent staffed by Youth Workers that provides a safe place for young people to go.
