About Us

“We work with local communities all over Ireland to deliver quality supports and services with and for young people. We provide safe spaces where young people are listened to, make a difference and have fun.” Be part of it!

Youth Work Ireland is a federation of 22 Local Member Youth Services who deliver pro- grammes and services to young people across the island of Ireland. We work with over 100,000 young people, through 470 clubs and youth projects, supported by over 500 staff and 7,000 dedicated volunteers.

Outcomes of our work:

Through our network of clubs, projects, drop in centres, youth information centres, youth cafés, music, arts, citizenship programmes and other outlets, we promote an open, inte- grated and accessible approach to working with young people. As a Federation of local youth services run by local people, we are uniquely placed to reach young people in their local communities around Ireland. We work to develop the potential of these young peo- ple and to strengthen communities in Ireland through quality youth services.

Young people are at the heart of our organisation and are supported with excellent stand- ards in volunteering, leaders and programme services. Many young people do not have a safe place to go where they can have a sense of belonging, when they can have a positive relationship with adults and where people believe in them. We offer young people from all backgrounds a place to go a listening ear and support if it's needed. The services are run by local people and the programmes are run based on the needs of the local community. Positive relationships between young people and adults ensure that young people thrive and are on the road to reaching their potential as well rounded adults.
