Mae gan waith ieuenctid ansawdd uchel, drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg neu’r Saesneg yn ôl anghenion yr unigolion, ran hanfodol i’w chwarae i gyflawni’r uchelgais hwn. Drwy ddulliau addysgol anffurfiol a heb fod yn ffurfiol, mae ymarfer gwaith ieuenctid effeithiol yn adeiladu sgiliau, dyheadau a gwydnwch pobl ifanc, a gall newid eu bywydau er gwell. Wedi dweud hynny, mae ein pobl ifanc yn tyfu mewn byd cynyddol gymhleth a chyd-destun cymdeithasol ac economaidd sy’n esblygu’n gyflym. Felly mae angen adnewyddu ein hagwedd at gynllunio a chyflwyno’r gwasanaethau hanfodol hyn nawr yn fwy nag erioed.
High-quality youth work, delivered through the medium of Welsh or English according to the needs of the individual, has a crucial role to play in delivering these ambitions. Through informal and non-formal educational approaches, effective youth work practice builds the skills, aspirations, and resilience of young people, and can change their lives for the better. That said, our young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world set against a rapidly evolving social and economic context. Now more than ever, therefore, requires a refreshed approach to how we plan and deliver these essential services.
