Hundreds of students will be able to pursue careers as youth workers thanks to a new £500,000 bursary fund from the Office for Civil Society.
Minister for Civil Society Baroness Barran said that the Youth Worker Bursary Fund will provide financial assistance to 400 people who otherwise could not afford to access the approved level 2 and level 3 qualifications in youth work, with an overall aim to increase the number of people taking up the qualifications and ensure the sector attracts new youth workers from a variety of backgrounds.
Charities, benevolent and philanthropic organisations from across England are now able to bid to become the delivery partner of the Youth Worker Bursary Fund.
Baroness Barran said: “The UK’s civil society is the glue that holds our communities together. Having volunteered and worked in the sector for over 30 years, I know the power our charities, social enterprises and community groups have to change lives for the better.
“Today and over the next few weeks I will be meeting representatives of this brilliant sector across the country to ensure the positive work of the Civil Society Strategy continues. I look forward to listening to a wide variety of people and organisations, from national bodies to smaller grassroots charities, to ensure their voices are heard.”
