Abstract

Work among children and teenagers shaped by a vagabond lifestyle and leading a life permanently inscribed in the urban space is carried out by means of streetworking, by well-prepared and trained streetworkers. This type of service may become an interesting subject of reflection, not only due to the relatively fixed values of the work’s ethics, but also to ways, both positive and negative, in which both individual streetworkers and groups of streetworkers experience the undertaken work. The article presents satisfaction determinants associated with work of streetworkers among street children in Poland, being analysed within the category of pedagogical passion understood as accompaniment. This passion, according to what they claim, is directed at the children’s welfare, and it is manifested in three different ways such as: help, presence in the group and, last but not least, intentional character of meetings.
