What is the occupation of a youth social worker?

Youth social work (affairs) refers to a service activity and service process in which social workers make full use of professional theories, methods and skills to help young people solve problems, overcome difficulties, restore their functions and obtain all-round development under the guidance of professional values, according to their physical and mental characteristics, motivation needs and hobbies.

Social workers are professional workers who follow the value concept of helping others and helping themselves and use professional methods such as case study, group work, community work and administrative management to help institutions and others develop their potential, coordinate social relations, solve and prevent social problems and promote social justice. At present, China's vocational level examination is divided into three grades, and the national vocational qualification is divided into four grades.

Young social workers are different from ordinary social volunteers. The biggest difference is that social workers are full-time occupations and need professional service skills.
