Essence of youth work with vulnerable youth

Location: Tiszaroff, Hungary

In European youth work, many young people are considered “disadvantaged.” But some face even greater challenges, making life much harder than it is for their peers. These young people could benefit greatly from national and international youth programs, yet they often the hardest to reach and involve.

This training is designed to help youth workers build the skills needed to engage highly vulnerable young people and make non-formal learning activities more accessible to them. What do we mean by ‘highly vulnerable youth’? 

We define “highly vulnerable” youth as those facing at least two major life challenges, with at least one being chronic, systemic, or particularly difficult to overcome—such as extreme poverty, abuse, or family instability. Their struggles go beyond what most disadvantaged youth experience. That’s why including highly vulnerable young people in Erasmus+ programs is so important. It helps them build connections, improves their emotional and mental well-being, and creates opportunities for a brighter future. However, supporting them effectively requires tailored strategies, professional expertise, and long-term commitment.
