None of Lithuanian higher education institutions prepare youth workers; this fact is deepening the future problem that there will be no suitable professionals capable of providing those services. Municipalities are suggested to actively establish youth centers and open spaces in the missing areas. It is considered as an example that social workers, social pedagogues could be retrained to youth workers qualifications, thereby increasing their competencies and developing the ability to provide quality services to youth centers and open spaces. At the state level, it is necessary to ensure the dissemination of the youth work outcomes in order to form a positive image of the youth work system and show the results of what is accomplished through the youth work as a tool in the context of other policies, e.g. social policy and employment policy. Based on the analysis of young people involvement in youth programs and activities as well as monitoring the unemployment development trends and forecasts of young people (under 25 years), it is presumed that an active youth participation in social life, like youth work and youth organizations, has a positive influence on more successful integration of young people into the labor market.

In the article, the authors aim to substantiate how effectively we can use the subject of education in schools, primarily integrating Economics, Civic Education and Ethics. In the search for effective education for children and young people, we need to invest more in the integration of social education through the dissemination of smart education and positive socialization while still at school. Social action in order to anchor it is often stereotyped, typified and stigmatized, and so acts of social communication are needed and must be accompanied by actions of smart education, social cognition, social awareness and empowerment. Therefore, the social education theories and good practices discussed in this article seek to systematize, integrate methods and tools that enable coping, processing, achieving, creating or obtaining specific outcomes that transform education into meaningful life goals and empathy and social emotional skills.
