The Passionate Youth Worker
After 107 episodes and four seasons, we’ve decided to stop producing new podcast episodes for now. But the journey continues, with listeners tuning in from more than 157 countries around the world, the podcast has been downloaded more than 25,000 times.
The Passionate Youth Worker podcast is your invitation to explore your own life experiences by listening to other’s personal stories. Join me, Paul Meunier, the executive director of the Youth Intervention Programs Association (YIPA), as I interview youth workers from around the globe to reveal how their unique life experiences impact their work. Tune in and be inspired to consider how your story uniquely impacts your youth work. Do you have feedback about the show? I'd love to hear from you. Just send an email to paul@yipa.org.
