The art of connection

A case study by Armani Illingworth, Youth Social Action Apprentice at Lancaster and Morecambe College, Myerscough College and Furness College.

Youth social action involves young people participating in activities that help their communities or tackle social issues. This can include volunteering, fundraising, campaigning, or any initiative aimed at
creating a positive change in society. Engaging in youth social action allows young individuals to develop valuable skills, make a
difference, and contribute to the well-being of their communities.

The impact of youth social action has been significant, thanks to the support of youth workers, and it has played an essential role in the lives of countless young people. It provides fun, structure, and numerous opportunities for those involved, helping them broaden their perspectives, enhance their social skills, and find a space to express themselves.
