Youth workers work with young people in these contexts to create opportunities for them to meet, make friends, participate in a range of experiences together, and reflect on their personal and group development and wider social, economic and cultural contexts. 

Opportunities are provided for youth workers to engage in quality relationships with young people and to respond to youth issues. These are central to the development of the Youth Work relationship and lead to positive youth development outcomes. 

This Code of Ethics seeks to encompass and value activities that are carried out in all youth work contexts.
