Educators for Youth at Risk

Posted September 5th, 2010 by admin. Comments Off.

Until now there was a history of working in this type of educator focused especially on preventive work with children and youth in neighborhoods, employment workshops, open centers, etc., as a facilitator of social action since serving associations, but new realities are demanding its intervention in other areas where you notice your absence, especially because it can play a key role of closeness and support that could hardly hold any other professional. We refer to a part of teams in action projects with drug addicts, prostitutes, ethnic minorities, immigrants, etc.. through methadone programs, harm reduction, social inclusion, health and hygiene, social security … From now insist on the role of street education as a necessary instrument in the educational intervention with all these groups. The street educators and are often the only significant adult who can turn young people and other groups when they encounter problems, difficult situations and conflicts. It is true that every day Street Educators incorporate new teams of government (municipalities, communities, etc.), but could be emphasized that private initiative is still difficult to deal with these professionals who end up being the last link in the list of recruitment.

In some associations have disappeared or been reduced educators for not having the support by means of subsidies, even when available the necessary social support. Resources Administration has created, for example for young people still lack staff capable of serving the entire population at risk in a structured and permanent over time. Sometimes it is to tackle the problem with specific actions and to different manifestations of the same, new programs are announced.
