Our Approach
Youth Work in Newbridge takes a holistic approach with young people
It starts where they are at in terms of developmental or physical location (open access or detached/street work) – the relationship between young people at youth worker is entirely voluntary – youth work often only works because of the voluntary relationship. many professionals work with young people, but principally, only in youth work is it the choice of the young person to engage with the professional.

In Newbridge GKML Youth workers are working  with young people aged between 8 and 25 years, although with adolescence starting younger in the modern age, the GKML Newbridge Youth Community  recognize youth work from ages 8-25. Newbridge Youth Community  seeks to promote young people’s personal and social development and enable them to have a voice, influence and place in their communities and society as a whole. It builds resilience and character and gives young people the confidence and life skills they need to live, learn, work and achieve. This approach is at the heart of all of our work in Newbridge Youth Community. Youth work offers young people safe spaces to explore their identity, experience decision-making, increase their confidence, develop inter-personal skills and think through the consequences of their actions. This leads to better informed choices, changes in activity and improved outcomes for young people.
