From New York City to Bogota: A Youth Worker Autoethnography

Conteúdo do artigo principal

Resumo

This article is an autoethnographic reflection of a New York City based youth worker’s participation in an immersive educational experience in Bogotá, Colombia during the summer of 2018. By reflecting on this experience, the author aims to gain a better understanding of her own reasons for entering youth work.  At the same time she aims to obtain a deeper insight into how she is better able to serve and work with youth by incorporating some of the best practices learned through this immersive experience.  The autoethnographic study further examines whether or not socioeconomic status affects the delivery of positive youth development services to youth in marginalized communities in Colombia and compare these findings as they relate to the delivery of services to marginalized youth in the United States.
