The Youth Work Learning Center is a university/community partnership designed to improve the quality of care for children and youth through professional development of the youth work field. The Youth Work Learning Center was founded in 1979 as a center "without walls" where youth work practitioners, youth, administrators, and university faculty could work together to develop and implement professional education, research and advocacy programs. Today it is a lively and active partnership in which youth workers (youth workers, child and youth care workers, foster parents, etc.) in community-based programs (neighborhood, community based youth development, after school and faith-based) and group care facilities (residential treatment, group homes, shelters, foster care and juvenile justice) learn and grow together.
