Youth Work Ireland is the largest national youth organisation in Ireland. We are a national federal organisation with 22 member youth services who have youth clubs and projects that are which are deeply rooted in communities the length and breadth of Ireland. Collectively Youth Work Ireland provide over 100,000 young people in 400 communities with a safe space in their community where they can have fun, do something that matters and be heard. Young people from every background have a safe space to belong in their youth club, programme or project where they can develop friendships, have a listening ear from trained professionals and get information on a number of issues. They participate in creative arts, music, media, sports, learning (both informal and formal) and a range of targeted projects. Youth Work Ireland celebrated our 50th birthday in 2012.
