Residential Youth Work is the term used to describe youth work done in a residential centre. It is normally secondary input to young people in that courses normally last for a few days, after which those young people may have very little contact with the centre again. It is therefore quite transient and is rarely intended to be a permanent present in the lives of young people, but rather a supplement to more regular input such as that given by schools, youth groups, churches and other youth projects. Some residential centres can expect to deal with thousands of young people a year.
Residential youth work is especially common in the Christian sphere. See Catholic Residential Youth Work.
