Through all our work we are striving to make significant difference to the lives of young people throughout Northern Ireland. Each year 4,500 young people engage in developmental programmes to maximise their skills, qualifications and potential through our six priority areas of work:
Youth Arts, Gender Equality, Work with Young Men, Rural, Training and Area Based Strategy.
Over 17,500 young people and adults are supported through our membership services and a further 8,000 attend shows, conferences, seminars and events. We also contribute to youth work by;
- Piloting and providing training for volunteers and professional workers
- Desseminating models of best practice
- Working in partnership with statuary, voluntary and community organisations
- Carrying out research into issues most pertinent to young people
- Lobbying government, drawing on research and relationships with young people
