Background

The Youth Worker programme is a training programme developed in Ukraine with support of the UN Development Program (UNDP) in Ukraine and in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine and the State Institute of Family and Youth Policy. Since its start in 2014, the programme has trained over 500 “youth workers”- representatives of civil servants and public associations working with young people on areas such as youth policy, youth work, project management, partnership building, and development of their personal competences. A strategic session of the programme, held on 10-12 August 2017 with a hundred of representatives of youth workers and other relevant stakeholders, identified volunteerism as one of the key areas that should be included in the programme. To address this need, the Ministry has approached the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme to provide technical assistance in developing curricula and conducting a specialized training of trainers on volunteerism for 20 representatives of the youth workers, which can be then scaled up as part of their programme for all youth workers in Ukraine.

1. Development of the training curricula in consultations with relevant stakeholders and UNV.
