Emphasis was placed on the importance of legal education in the construction of socialist modernized countries, especially the legal education of young people, which has a direct impact on the realization of universal legal education and the comprehensive strategy of governing the country by law. The release of the Eighth Five Year Plan (2021-2025) by the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Justice marks a new stage in the work of promoting legal education for all. As the fundamental unit of national governance, the community can effectively enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of youth legal education through community work methods, providing new ideas and methods for legal education.

The compatibility of community work intervention in youth legal education

Explored the compatibility of community work in youth legal education. The concept of community work aims to promote community welfare and enhance cohesion, create a learning environment for young people, improve their ability to learn and use law, and strengthen their sense of community responsibility. The community work method mobilizes community forces, integrates resources, and enhances the effectiveness of legal education for young people, including providing legal learning services, linking legal aid, and educational resources. The community work team is composed of professionals from multiple fields, providing professional services, ensuring the organization and implementation of legal education activities, building collaborative work networks with other organizations, and deepening cooperation systems.

The dilemma of carrying out community legal education for young people

Three major challenges faced by community youth legal education were pointed out: firstly, the work system of community youth legal education is not perfect, lacking effective operational mechanisms and resource integration, resulting in poor effectiveness of educational activities; Secondly, the education form is single and lacks multimedia and interactive teaching methods, which cannot meet the learning needs of young people in the new era; Thirdly, the construction of the community legal education team lags behind, with problems such as personnel assembly and low legal literacy, which affects the effectiveness of education. The root cause of these problems lies in the lack of government policies and funding support, as well as the lack of special incentives and funding guarantee mechanisms at the community operation level.

The role that community workers can play in youth legal education

Explored the multiple roles and roles of community workers in youth legal education. Firstly, community workers act as guides to stimulate the enthusiasm of young people to participate in legal education activities through resource exploration, empowerment, and community education. At the same time, activities are designed based on the psychological characteristics of young people to improve their participation and experience. Secondly, as organizers, community workers enrich the content of legal education and enhance the sense of achievement and experience of young people through innovative forms of activities, such as "fingertip legal education" and "micro scenario dramas". Thirdly, as educators, community workers rely on community, school, and family resources to build legal education platforms, provide systematic legal knowledge education services, organize legal practice activities, cultivate professional teaching staff, and empower young people to participate in community legal education. Finally, as resource connectors, community workers integrate educational resources both inside and outside the community, establish shared platforms and deep cooperation, introduce high-quality legal resources, and serve community youth legal education. Overall, community workers play a crucial role in building an educational community that is co built, co governed, and shared.
