Everglow Youth Celebrates Youth Work Week 2025

Youth workers from west Yorkshire are proudly highlighting the difference they make in young people’s lives as part of Youth Work Week 2025, a national campaign running from 3–9 November.

Led by the National Youth Agency (NYA), Youth Work Week is a powerful moment to recognise and celebrate the life-changing impact of youth work across the UK with the theme ‘Building Brighter Futures: Safe places, trusted support, and opportunities to thrive’.

Everglow youth work with young people aged 8-25 and their Youth workers in West Yorkshire to give young people the skills, knowledge and experience needed to navigate our ever-changing world. They are encouraging increased understanding of what youth work is, and how it benefits whole communities as well as young people.

Throughout the week, Everglow Youth will be posting to highlight the positive impact of youth work.

Emily our Director Said “Once again we are delighted that Youth Work Week is back, We hope to share this week the vital role Youth work plays in our communities and the lives of young people. We can’t wait to highlight some of the fantastic work taking place in our communities”

[KD1] National Youth Agency Chief Executive Leigh Middleton OBE said: “Youth Work Week is a powerful opportunity to celebrate the dedication, passion and expertise of youth workers who make a lasting difference in young people’s lives often quietly and without fanfare.  It’s also a moment to recognise youth work as a vital investment not only in individual futures, but in the strength, wellbeing and resilience of our communities.”
