Abstract:

The term youth development as a way of defining the efforts of youth workers and youth service organization and their acceptance in practice is relatively new. In the past two decades there has been a great deal of interest and attention focused on development principles and strategies to be used in the practice of youth work. The main aim of the paper is focused on the evaluation of the system of youth work development in Trenčín self-governing region. Therefore, we offer a brief overview of the system of youth work, stating the basic characteristics and emphasis on the activities of the Regional Leisure Centre in Trenčín - the Regional Youth Centre.
