Ultimate Youth Worker on C2Y Podcast: Youth Work Online

A couple of weeks ago our Executive Director had the privilege of speaking with Wolfgang Vachon of C2Y Podcast. In this cast we spent much of our time talking about the need for youth work to enter the online realm as it is where many of our young people can be found. This truly international discussion (Wolfgang is from Toronto, Canada and we are based in Melbourne, Australia) is a prime example of the opportunities the internet has for doing youth work and providing training opportunities to the youth sector.

Have a listen to the C2Y Podcast and share it with your friends in the sector.
