Hello, my name is Nathan Ferreira and I'm the director of program for Promising
Futures out of Noblesville, Indiana. I believe
the most effective and important attributes of a youth worker are a willingness and a
desire to help youth in need that might otherwise fall
through the cracks. A youth worker is able to learn the newest
evidence-based approaches to working with those youth and accept that
feedback that will make them a better youth worker. Program administrators
need to support their youth workers with effective training, with
the credentialing process for youth workers. Helping them work
with youth from all backgrounds, dealing with all kinds of situations,
including those impacted by trauma.
