Almost one in four people in the EU lives at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Having a child or children impacts a family's expenses and, consequently, its risk of poverty, as concluded by the European Institute for Gender Equality. Younger mothers and women with young children were among the least-employed parent groups. The risk of poverty or social exclusion increased when a parent had to raise a child alone. Studies examining young parents’ views on their experiences highlight the diversity of their needs. They describe struggles against negative stereotypes of teenage parenthood, heavy reliance on family support, the continuation of problems that had existed before parenthood, and the broader costs and benefits of education and employment. Young parents - especially mothers - are frequently overlooked, not taken into consideration, and expected to put their education and careers on hold due to an unsupportive environment. The absence of structural support mechanisms forces young parents to make difficult choices between their personal and professional aspirations, reinforcing inequalities and limiting their participation. At the time, young parents as a target group do not fully fit into either youth work-focused services or traditional support structures for parents. With this project we proposed a point of view that one of the roles of youth workers should be to offer tailored support and activities to young parents, especially those who had their first child before the age of 21. The project included few organisations with significant experience working with young parents, but most of the partners shared a common need to learn more about young parents' needs, as well as support systems and methods that could address these needs effectively within the context of youth work. The main goal of this project was to promote the inclusion of parents with preschool-aged children in youth work practices at local, national, and European levels. The project had a dual focus. On one hand, it explored how youth workers could better support young people who had become parents. On the other hand, it sought to advocate for better support systems and the inclusion of youth workers and trainers who are parents in European youth work. This project provided an opportunity to examine and challenge systemic barriers to new parents' inclusion, participation, and professional development. Parenthood should not have been a reason for exclusion, yet many young parents in youth work, particularly freelancers and trainers, face difficulties accessing professional opportunities, international mobility, and career growth. Through this project, we brought more visibility to these challenges and advocated for concrete solutions that would make youth work truly inclusive for young parents. We explored how youth work structures could be transformed to provide adequate support, enabling young parents to thrive without being forced to compromise their mental health, education, and careers. Additionally, participants explored strategies that challenge unconscious bias and explored needs for policy changes and reforms in initiatives like Erasmus+ to ensure they become genuinely accessible to participants and professionals with caregiving responsibilities.
