• We are Youth Workers!- Coming in JUNE! A celebration of all things youth worker. This will be a two-part event. Part ONE a showcase of youth workers work over the last year. Part TWO a PARTY!!!
  

The YDPN believes that youth workers need to connect intrapersonally, financially, professionally, and interpersonally if we want to sustain ourselves in our work. In this vein we have dreams for youth workers based on our Four Points.

Intrapersonal Connections

• We dream of youth workers that are empowered because they are connected to their intentionality.
• We dream of shared spaces that promote reflection; values clarification and development; healing, rejuvenation, and self-care; and advocacy skill development.

• We dream of youth workers that are celebrated for their work and intentionality.
• We dream of messages everywhere that say youth development is important work.

• We dream of youth workers that are professional and collective.
• We dream of equitable, accessible to relevant educational and professional development opportunities, especially those led by peers.

• We dream of youth workers that are financially self sufficient.
• We dream of a network of economic support that builds financial literacy, provides affordable housing, health care, and loan forgiveness; and adequately compensates its employees.
• We dream of many youth workers in many settings for many years.
