Red:GLOW leadership programme
Youth worker handbook
Anyone who works with young women – regardless of whether they are 14 or 30 – sees how so many of us struggle to understand leadership. This was certainly the feedback from youth workers involved in the Red:GLOW programme. Across Europe leadership is seen in different ways. In some places, young women still think it ‘isn’t for them’. In other places young women don’t see how they can become the ‘big boss’.
When this programme was developed, it became clear that many youth workers didn’t realise that they are leaders! But we are. Every time we work with young women, develop and deliver activities for them, we are leading. And the young women we work with look to us for guidance. It’s a challenge to be a role model, but we realised that modelling leadership for young women was an essential part of them realising that they could be leaders too.
