Abstract
This paper explores the autoethnographic journey of a graduate student learning about youth work in a global context in Bogotá, Colombia. The research questions posed focused on examining the structures in place to support youth in Bogotá and what knowledge could be taken back to New York City. I believed youth in Colombia would have more autonomy due to the implementation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child than the United States (who has not ratified the treaty). I discovered that youth work is done similarly in Colombia and in New York City, both equipped with passionate youth workers, government funding, and a need to do more.
