Beschrijving van de organisatie

Donegal Youth Service (DYS) is a countywide Youth Service Provider, a Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered Charity with Charitable Status. Donegal Youth Service is an affiliate member of Youth Work Ireland (one of 22 Member Services nationally). Our work sees us regularly involved in projects and initiatives at a national and international level. DYS supports voluntary-led youth clubs that are affiliated with the organisation and manages youth projects which are set up to address the specific needs of young people aged 10 – 25yrs. DYS operates an integrated youth service model to deliver better outcomes for young people through an intentional youth work practice intervention. DYS operates an integrated youth service model, meaning that the youth work staff work to ensure that young people can move seamlessly from project to project dependent on their needs. This approach means that the young person is at the centre of the service and there is ‘no wrong door approach’ so a holistic approach is taken linking the young person to the appropriate project or intervention.

Creates youth-friendly services, keeping voluntary engagement at the core of what we do
