"Sit on her lazy arse and play games with young people" says a young person standing over my shoulder as I write this blog. Personally I would like to believe that I do a little more then that! My job as Livingstone Shire Council's Youth Worker is to Co-run the VerbYL Youth Lounge; which is open Thursday and Friday 3 - 7pm and Saturday 1-6pm. In addition to specialty programs such as Wednesday Verbylizers 3-5pm and 18+ Social Group 7-10pm Wednesday. At verbYL my focus responsibilities lie in engaging with young people, offering an information and referral service. For more information on verbYL Youth Lounge visit www.verbyl.net.au
My job outside of verbyl is to facilitate the Livingstone Shire Youth Council, youth events such as Youth Week and Schoolies Week, support and encorouge youth groups and initatives. In addition to networking with other Youth Service providers, identifying service gaps, creating, developing and implementing youth projects, programs and events.
One of the best parts of my job is meeting and getting to know so many amazing, talented and facinating young people.
A main part of my job is to offer a information and referral service hence I am inviting any young people who have questions or are seeking information, guidence or help to post this request anonymously through comments on this blog or email me on c.neiland@livingstone.qld.gov.au.
In a nutshell I try as hard as I can to increase the opportunities and services available for young people in the region. And in the process get grey hair trying!
I look forward to hearing your response to my first blog.

YOU ROCK... EVEN THOUGH THIS IS YOURSELF COMPLIMENTING YOURSELF!!
WOW i want to be a Youth Worker. Grey hair at 20 sounds great!!!
Your my inspiration!!!
Haha u cnt spell fascinating... loser
who ever said you can't spell fascinating atleast it's a harder word then you or can't so i guess that makes you the loser haha last laugh is on you
Thanks for the comments guys and girls! Very observant that you picked up on the spelling error. I think we need to move past my poor spelling though... I reckon if that's the worst habbit I've got I am doing alright!
And as it has been mentioned before by a very wise young person... you have to make the most of what you have... besides I think grey hair is dignified!
You're very brave! I can understand the attraction to youth services though - you never know what each day is going to bring. Look forward to reading more!
Anybody who is interested... I am attempting to figure out what my next blog entry should be - If you want me to write about something in particular please let me know by emailing or posting a comment around a particular topic or question.
Followed you through a google search on youth work blogs - good start and looking forward to reading more.
