Quality assurance
 

There is no existing system of quality assurance to youth work in Montenegro.

Research and evidence supporting Youth Work

As generally described in Chapter 1.6 National statistic and available data resources, there is no specific research system that follows the development of youth work. The national authorities fund a general research on the position and needs of young people or an evaluation of the implementation of the national youth strategy, however, there is a lack of a continuous and systematic approach regarding evidence-based youth work research.
 

Participate youth work
 

Youth work in Montenegro is youth center-based, detached or outreach youth work, open youth work, etc. The main providers of youth work in Montenegro are NGOs with financial support from the Government and local authorities. Within the several open calls for NGOs since 2017, the Ministry of Sports and Youth has allocated more than 800 000 € to projects for young people. A great number of projects were linked to youth work activities. Also, Youth services (youth clubs and youth centers) are one of the key infrastructural mechanisms for practicing youth work and improving youth participation, their networking and the development of life skills and non-formal education. In the upcoming period, the intention is to open youth services in every municipality in Montenegro, and also to support the work of the existing ones, thus enabling, inter alia, less complicated performing of youth work.
