Youth Advocate

A Youth Advocate supports and represents the interests of young people, helping them navigate challenges and access services. You might work in community organisations, schools, or government agencies. Youth Advocates focus on providing guidance, advocating for youth rights, and facilitating access to resources such as counselling and education. You’ll work closely with young people to address their concerns and empower them to make informed decisions.

Youth Advocates play a crucial role in promoting positive outcomes for young people. You’ll need to be empathetic and resourceful, with strong communication and problem-solving skills. You’ll liaise with families, educators, and other professionals to ensure that youth receive the support and advocacy they need to thrive.
