Here for Youth

These projects are co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union. Please see www.eufunds.ie for further information

Primary Target Group

Our primary target group is young people aged between 10 and 25 years, particularly those who are disadvantaged and/or “at risk”. The Drugs and Drugs Outreach Projects, in line with their specific Project remit, target individuals (both young people and adults), families and/or communities affected by substance misuse.

Partnerships & Collaborations

We are big believers in partnerships, linkages and exchanges, wherever possible:

  • Effective collaborative and mutually beneficial working arrangements with mainstream service providers and programmes
  • Established working alliances with community interests
  • Continuous liaison with frontline service providers
  • Young people, families, communities and service providers in strategic partnership towards effective design and delivery of responses
  • Specific service delivery/funding linkages with DCYA, POBAL, Youth Work Ireland, HSE, Waterford and Wexford ETB, CDYSB, IYJS and ESF, SERDATF, Tipperary ETB, Solas, DSP and Leargas
  • Active representation and collaboration with Waterford CYPSC and TUSLA Local Area Pathways/Child and Family Support Networks
