Young people, as the hope of a nation and a country, are the most vigorousgroups of people at any time. The prosperity and richness of a country depends on itsyouth. Our country and the Party have long been concerned with young people,highly valued and supported youth work.

We haveaccumulated abundant practical experience and theoretical knowledge of youthwork in the process of practice of revolution, construction and reform and openingup of China by the leadership of Chinese Communist Party. Especially in the period ofsocial transformation, young people are faced with the reality of complicated culturalbackground and multiple values, as well as the acceleration of information spreadingin the network era, young people have the tendency that their value orientationbecomes diversified, value contradiction becomes prominent, value judgmentbecomes polarization and their value deviates from dominant values. Therefore, thestudy of value guidance of youth work can not only direct the development andenhance positive energy of youth work, but also lead and educate young people tochoose proper values and encourage young people to pursue meaningful life andachieve success in their study and work.Since values have played an important role in the development of young people,the change of youth`s value orientation and the development and construction oftheir values will directly influence young people`s political choices, life attitudes,moral evaluation, personal morality, life style and social behaviors and determine thedevelopment direction of young people.Since the Policy of Reform and Opening up, youth work has grasped youngpeople`s growth characteristics and laws as well as working laws, followed the paceof times and current conditions of young people`s values and has obtained some positive achievements by enhancing taxonomy guidance. However, faced with thechanged social environment and work object, youth work still suffer the problem ofinadaptation, especially in that the spiritual guidance of value guidance of youthwork remains to be improved. Therefore, the author chose the value guidance ofyouth work as the research focus so that the value guidance of advanced culture canbe used to lead, serve and unite young people and finally accomplish the value ofyouth work.Our General Secretary Xi has great expectations for young people.

The main contents of the youth work value direction today are viewof life, occupational choice, view of association and consumption idea.
