Now here's a leaflet idea
Youth work and information leaflets ...... a symbiotic relationship I reckon. I've got a pile of leaflets here that are attractive, "cool" and informative on subjects like benefits, connexions, sex, drugs and suicide! (not many positive themes). I also have a new one from West Berkshire on "ASBO's" that I have to get young people's opinion on tonight and feedback.
Anyway it got me thinking about a leaflet that we really ought to produce. One aimed at answering the unifying regular question continually asked of youth workers?
Yes, that one:
"What exactly does a youth worker do all day?"
I reckon we should produce a leaflet that can be handed out in response. A bright colourful pamphlet with action photos that gives:
Examples of what we do
Skills and training that we have
Reminds people that 'yes it is a proper job'
Outlines the challenges we face
What do you reckon? Anything else to add?

perhaps it should mention that we probably do more hours for less money than most of those asking the question?

Can there be a girly version with the Bionic woman on?
