YOUTHREACH
The Youthreach Programme
Youthreach is the principal national response in Ireland to the difficulties faced by young people who have left school early. It is an education and training programme targeting in particular those between 16 and 20 years of age who have left the mainstream school system with poor qualifications or none. The Youthreach programme is funded partially by the European social Fund.
