 Our Youth Work Projects

We have a range of youth projects funded from different sources which work to provided services to young people in their local communities. These projects are all staffed by highly qualified and experienced youth workers, and supported by support staff and volunteers. All projects place young people at the centre of everything that they do, and strive to ensure that young people have a highly visible presence in their direction and day to day work.

Our Special Youth Projects (SPY) are all funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. Each SPY project aims to provide a holistic, relevant and fun service to the young people in its catchment area, and is staffed by a project worker and team of youth work assistants.
