I don't have any information about Orlando employment, but I don't think I understand exactly what a "youth worker" is.

Does it involve the school system?
the justice system (i.e., juvenile criminals or victim advocate)?
church work?
Are you a social worker of some kind?
Do you work with teenagers, school age children, or preschool aged children?

What would you do in your dream job?

Sorry to be so ignorant--people separated by a common language and all.

A youth worker is...

Hi, A youth worker works with young people aged between 13-25. It can be variouse different types of work with different young people. I work on summer activities such as day trips, team work, fun stuff, run groups such a drama, video production, work with young people helping them access education and employment, work supporting young parents, find funding for variouse projects. It's not socail work, more informal (and fun!), it's about building relationships with young people and helping them relise their true potentail, it's also about citizenship and helping young people undersatnd and play a role in their communities. It's a bit like an entertainer mixed with a socail worker. Does that make sence? I guess there isn't any youth workers in America.

Thanks for the reply though.
