Opportunities for college-level education in the field of youth work
have been increasing steadily over the last several years, and many
colleges now even offer degree programs in youth work. These programs
are helping to professionalize the field of youth work and often
provide participants with greater confidence in their work, but the
education programs are not tied to government qualification mandates or
to financial incentives. Thus, "you may have made an investment in your
own education, but it doesn't change your paycheck," says Ellen Gannett , Director of the National Institute on Out-of-School Time at the Wellesley Centers for Women.
