It's a man's world - or is it?
At a time when the need for male role models is becoming more and more important there are fewer males involved in youth work. Youth Service figures for Ballymena/Antrim/ Moyle for 2008-09 indicate that over 11000 young people attend youth service on an almost 50:50 gender ratio.
However the number of adult males involved in youth work is only about 38% across Ballymena, Antrim and Moyle.
