History of Youth Work in Australia
The history of youth work started in 18th century at time of Industrial Revolution, when the
young men left their families and move to big towns, this result into emergent of youth
culture in urban areas. In Australia, youth work programs first brought by Christian based
organisation such as the YMCA and the girls and boys brigade. Prior to 1885, the Boston
YMCA began to hire gymnasium superintendents which led the training of physical directors,
Congregationalist minister wanted to provide training for untrained labours hired at churches,
YMCAs and connected institutions. Earlier in 20th century, worries raised about the numbers
of young individuals not in association of youth societies (Bessant, 2012). This led to first but
ineffective attempt to register all young people in Australia. During Second World War,
frontrunners were looking to prevent a World War-III, which would probably be fought with
nuclear bombs and annihilate humanity. One the strategies put in place was to set-up youth
organisation worldwide and have adolescence with similar fields of interest organise and
contribute in youth exchange.
