**Main Purpose and Function**
The Community Youth Worker (CYW) is responsible for planning, developing, coordinating, promoting and implementing a community based youth services program in partnership with site programming staff and community members.

CYWs focus on two main activities in youth work: Youth Development (direct work with youth and their families) and Community Outreach/Development (working with the community, community programs and services on youth issues and interests). The CYW carries considerable responsibility to ensure that youth programs and the youth spaces in their community centre run effectively, safely and successfully. In addition, organizationally, CYWs have a supervisory and administrative function. Each of the main activities has a series of components.

A CYW exercises independent judgement on coordination and implementation of approved youth activities and the provision of guidance and resource referral services. Difficult or unusual problems are discussed with a supervisor. The development of new programs by the CYW occurs in consultation with the community and programming staff as needed, and with the final approval by the Centre Supervisor and the Community Youth Development Coordinator
