YEF & YHFF Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice

The Young Ealing Foundation & Young Hammersmith & Fulham Foundation connect and equip grassroots youth charities, supporters and decision makers, to open up a brighter future for Ealing’s children and young people. Our objective is to support all our members to be resilient organisations, and this includes investing in relevant workforce development training. In 2025 partnership will be offering 8 FREE places on an in-person Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice. Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice is a JNC recognised qualification designed to strengthen and develop your current practice whilst offering valuable career development with national recognition ensuring a standard of good practice. The course will cover theory of youth work, safeguarding, group work within a youth work setting, communicating with young people, behaviour that challenges you, work-based practice, and reflective practices all within a youth work context.

Please note that due to limited places and the length of commitment we are asking all sign ups to pay a £100.00 deposit which will be refunded at the end of the programme. If this is a barrier for any organisation please do get in touch to discuss.

Due to limited places we can offer only ONE SPACE per organisation. If you book more than one space, it will be cancelled.
