Youthscape Project branches in Donegal are seeking participants who would like to build their confidence and career goals.

Are you 14-24 years old? Not in full time education, employment or training? Unsure of what to do next? Join Youthscape in Letterkenny or Ballybofey, and you can gain new skills and make new friends. Take the next step in your life with this exciting new cross-border initiative. The only entry requirement is that you are ready to try something new.

Why do it? You will gain OCN Level 1 Qualifications, there will be educational and fun day trips, as well as fun activities and projects in the local community. Participants will create a personal development plan unique to them, and their goals. They will also receive one-to-one guidance and support for 6 weeks before it begins, as well as during, and also after the programme ends. Finally, there will be refreshments provided each day, as well as support with travel and childcare costs.

The programme will focus on 3 key areas; Firstly Personal Development, which consists of exploring your well-being, and your mental and physical health. Secondly, Good Relations, which works on respect for diversity which will involve crossborder trips, and finally the Active Citizenship Project which puts team work skills into practice.

The programme takes place 3 days a week in both Letterkenny and Ballybofey for 16 weeks. The project is ongoing, so participants can join at any time, however the next official starting date is in April 2018. So if you’re not sure what you want to do next, or where you are going then get in touch now and see what Youthscape can do for you.

The Youthscape programme is a cross-border, cross-community interventionist programme developed in association with South West College, as Lead Partner, Donegal Youth Service and TIDES Training. It will operate in Counties Tyrone, Fermanagh and Donegal covering the 5 areas of Omagh, Enniskillen, Dungannon, Ballybofey and Letterkenny.
