In my experience, the quality of a good youth worker has to involve passion.
A good youth worker will tend to work extra hard, be more devoted
than anyone else because of that passion. And it's usually born out of not only a sense
of caring and empathy, but usually they have had something happen in their past.
Either they were homeless themselves or they were in a home with domestic violence.
They've had to rise up and they've had to overcome things in their life.
Therefore they're there to be strength for those kids. And they have that passion,
to just drive on through and not take things personally,
instead see those kids for where they can be instead of where they are.
