EDGE Youth Diversion Project (Carrick on Suir)

Description

The EDGE Project is a Youth Diversion Project. The Project team works with young people aged between 12 and 18 from the Garda Sub District of Carrick on Suir. Through the project young people are supported in all areas of their lives to make pro-social choices, with the aim of diverting them from involvement in anti-social behaviours, increasing civic responsibility and promoting belief in their future potential. The needs of participants are met through participation in various programs and activities.
