Beschreibung
Waterford and South Tipperary Community Youth Service (WSTCYS) is a regional youth service working with young people across Waterford City, County Waterford, and South Tipperary. Our mission is to support young people in achieving their full potential through high-quality youth work, education, and development programmes. This ESC placement is hosted within a UBU (Your Place Your Space) funded Youth Project. UBU projects support young people aged 10–24 who may face disadvantage, marginalisation, or are in need of additional support in their lives.
