“The social impact YouthAction NI has had, and continues to have on the lives of young people and communities throughout Northern Ireland is impressive. On a personal level, volunteering on YouthAction NI’s board is a hugely rewarding experience. I am involved in GET SET, an employability programme. It is clear to see how youth work can be used to build confidence and self-belief in personal capabilities whilst providing practical guidance on future employment or education.”
