How can I contact youth workers in NSW?
YAPA doesn't employ youth workers but our website can help you find NSW youth workers. See www.yapa.org.au/youthwork/facts/findyouthworker.php.
How can I get a job as a youth worker in NSW?
There is no single qualification or entry point to youth work in NSW. You can study youth work or welfare at TAFE. Some youth workers have other qualifications such as teaching, social work or psychology, or skills eg. music, art or sport. Some youth workers get into paid youth work through voluntary work at a local youth service.
There is more information in the Job Guide at http://jobguide.thegoodguides.com.au - look up Youth Work and make sure you read the additional information for your state or territory.
How can I get volunteer work in a youth service in NSW?
YAPA cannot help you get volunteer work as a youth worker. You need to contact youth services in your area – see How can I contact youth workers in NSW? on this page.

Can YAPA advertise this job vacancy?
Unfortunately YAPA cannot advertise jobs for other agencies. You can advertise jobs on the NCOSS website at www.ncoss.org.au/jobs for a fee.
I have a question relating to another state or territory, not NSW
YAPA is the peak body for young people and youth services in NSW only. For peaks in other states and the national youth peak, scroll down to Other peak bodies in other states and territories of Australia, at: www.yapa.org.au/youth/topics/youthorgs.php
Can YAPA work with our youth organisation in another country?
YAPA is a very small organisation working in just one state of Australia, and so unfortunately we do not have the capacity to work with overseas organisations.
I want to join YAPA, or get unleash magazine, or yaprap newsletter
See Join YAPA: membership & magazine subscriptions.
I am interested in Survival Training for Youth Workers
