becoming more aware of future prospects
Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven
In nine cases, the youngsters became more aware of their future prospects and had taken the first steps in realizing them. Some youngsters were stimulated to consider their future prospects, while others engaged in an educational program or obtained an internship, a side job, or other work with the support of the youth worker. Participating in an education program or the labor market enhances the socio-economic participation of youngsters, as well as their social network and independence. Case 5: The side job had a positive effect on the girl. She met new people, had new experiences, and earned her own money. With this money she could finally buy the nice shoes she wanted (diary note).
Beschreibung der Aktivität
Professional youth work in the Netherlands, primarly focused on socially vulnerable youngsters during their transition from dependence in childhood to adult independence
The occurrence of significant negative life events (losing a job or experiencing a form of threat) can radically influence the living conditions of youngsters, as can positive life events. Youth workers must actively adapt the youth work process to such events in order to keep providing the appropriate support that is needed. Furthermore, the presence or absence of social support from significant others in the social environment of young people, such as support from parents, teachers, and other family members, can influence the health, wellbeing, and positive development of young people (Pringle, Whitehead, Milne, Scott, & McAteer, 2019). There is a growing belief that the presence or absence of social support from significant others influences the youth work process and its outcomes (Boomkens, Metz, Schalk, & Van Regenmortel, 2019). Based on an open approach, Dutch youth workers frequently apply a combination of four commonly used methods: detached youth work, social group work, individual guidance, and information and advice services (Metz, 2020).

Evaluierung der Aktivität
Sekundäranalyse von Daten, Dokumenten, audiovisuellen Materialien etc., Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
Over 12 months (Oct 2017–Nov 2018), information about both the multi-methodic actions of professional youth workers and the process of development of the young people was gathered using a variety of data sources: diary notes, small group intervision meetings, and pre- and post-descriptions. All instruments were developed on the basis of the literature and practice-based studies of the four methods, which were conducted between 2011 and 2017 (Koops et al., 2013, 2014; Rumping et al., 2017; Schaap et al., 2017).
