Across Europe, 16 National Agencies and SALTO Youth Resource Centres are collaborating to develop youth work. The "SNAC Growing Youth Work" project aims to elevate the importance of youth work, emphasising its critical role in the lives of young people and democratic societies. We are contributing to putting the European Youth Work Agenda into action by offering support, encouraging coordinated and strategic efforts and creating opportunities for youth work professionals. Thus, we develop a network to strengthen youth work across Europe together.
