We were delighted to attend Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) - European Funding event Peacebuilding in Action- Three Decades of Protecting Peace on the Island of Ireland yesterday to share the impact of the Journeys programme. Alongside our partners we have engaged 1200+ young people so far, already with significant positive outcomes.

We hope that Journeys leaves a lasting and impactful legacy, reaching those that need it most.

We are absolutely delighted to congratulate these four young people in their recent acceptance to Ulster University where they will further their Youth Work training and development.

They have shown incredible dedication to the vocation and have worked so hard to achieve this!

Well done to Anna, Seanna, Odhran and Caitlin! 🙌

FUSE is back!

Have you ever wanted to try a new art form, but haven't been sure how to?

Fuse brings young people together to celebrate and explore their creativity in any shape! Covering a huge range of creative areas, young people on Fuse develop skills and find new interests and pathways to pursue. We're so excited to bring more art into Belfast this summer!

If you're interested we would love to hear from you! Reach out to our messages and we'll connect you with a youth worker for more info!

Being able to understand and put theory into practice has been an essential part of the Apprenticeship experience. Well done to Deaglan for taking this learning on board each week!

Headstart Year 2 participants shared their insights and experiences with the Year 1 group at their masterclass this afternoon. They discussed pathways, work placements and the exciting step up in their knowledge and understanding of Youth Work & Business Admin 👏

Year 1s left feeling excited for their future in the programme, and motivated for their learning journey 🌟

These young people have recently joined our youth-led Gener8 programme looking for routine and a space to express themselves while gaining skills and confidence.

They're looking forward to working as a team while taking control of their schedule, budget and social action projects. We're delighted to be working with a super group of motivated participants!

Congratulations to our young leaders who completed their programme last week! They zoned in on their roles as transformational leaders and saw significant improvements in their ability to be culturally competent. This group of participants are excited to integrate their learning into their work and volunteering in communities across Belfast.

Our Apprenticeship NI learners, Gearoid & Deaglan, are working hard through their youth work qualification. Both apprentices have been taking away valuable learning which they have been applying to their practice in employment.

Deaglan & Gearoid are looking forward to further developing their skills to support young people!

Many of the young people on our HeadStart programme are thriving in work placement, where they are able to gain practical skills to build their experience for the workplace!

Big thanks to Oh Yeah Music Centre for supporting our young people!
