Our overall aim is to assist in the personal, social, spiritual and educational development of young people, particularly those who are experiencing disadvantage and social exclusion; to enable them to exercise greater control over their lives by empowering them to make active choices and decisions, to exercise responsibility and to contribute to the development of their community, environment and society. The organisation provides a quality educational anddevelopmental youth work response, through facilitated positive group experiences
