ABSTRACT
The Youth Service owes its genesis to the work of the national voluntary youth organizations most of which started towards the end of the nineteenth century or in the early years of the present century. The schools and further education establishments on the one hand, and the Youth Service on the other, pursue activities which have a considerable degree of overlap, activities both of which are essential to the full development of the adolescent. The local authorities are empowered to make their own arrangements to administer their own schemes, which they commonly do by setting up youth committees as main sub-committees of the education committees. The whole service should be redesignated as the Youth and Community Service and it should attempt to forge a new partnership between youth workers, industry, trade unions, commercial enterprises, churches, social services, voluntary organizations and education.
